A member of the African Democratic Congress coalition in Sokoto, Abubakar Gada, has returned to the Peoples Democratic Party.
The former senator, who made the announcement at the end of a consultative meeting in Sokoto, said his decision was driven by the need to “reclaim and rebuild” the PDP in the state.
Mr Gada, who represented Sokoto East senatorial district between 2007 and 2011 under the PDP, joined the ADC in 2025.
”I have played a leading and instrumental role in the conception, promotion, and stabilisation of the ADC coalition movement in Sokoto state.
”I also invested considerable time, energy, and political capital in building what was envisioned as a credible political alternative driven by the collective aspirations of the people.
“I leverage modern communication tools and social media platforms to expand awareness and participation. It is in this spirit that I brought the North-West coalition representative, Malam Nasiru El-Rufa’i, to Sokoto state to engage with diverse political stakeholders in the state,” Mr Gada said.
The politician explained that events have unfolded in line with prevailing political realities and have revealed significant structural and leadership challenges within the coalition.
These, he said, included weak cohesion, a lack of strategic clarity, and a noticeable lack of commitment at critical leadership levels.
Mr Gada added that after extensive consultations with political allies, stakeholders, and grassroots leaders, and after careful reflection, he decided to withdraw from the ADC coalition.
“I formally align with the PDP, a platform I consider more structured, credible, and people-oriented for advancing the collective aspirations of Sokoto state.
“The development was a result of statewide town hall engagements, strategic grassroots consultations, and high-level political interactions aimed at strengthening unity, coordination, and public confidence in the PDP,” he added.
Mr Gada pledged his commitment to inclusive leadership, grassroots empowerment, constructive political engagement, and the pursuit of good governance.
He also promised a stable, dependable political platform and remained resolute in working together toward unity, sustainable development, and shared prosperity.
