Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Tambuwal announced the decision in a statement on Wednesday which was shared on his verified X account, saying he had communicated his resignation in writing to his ward chairman.
The former Sokoto State governor said the PDP had been a significant part of his political journey and expressed gratitude for the opportunities the party gave him to serve the country.
He noted that he served as Speaker of the House of Representatives and later as governor of Sokoto State under the platform of the party.
However, Tambuwal said persistent internal crisis, leadership disagreements, and growing divisions within the PDP made it increasingly difficult for him to remain in the party.
According to him, the developments have weakened the unity and direction that once defined the PDP.
Consequently, he said he had officially joined the ADC along with his associates and supporters.
Tambuwal added that his decision was guided by the belief that Nigeria needs a stronger political platform built on integrity, accountability, inclusiveness, and a clear commitment to national development.

Today, after deep reflection and consultations, I have formally resigned my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and I have communicated my resignation to my ward chairman in writing.
The PDP has been a significant part of my political journey, and I remain grateful for the opportunities it gave me to serve our nation, including as Speaker of the House of Representatives and as Governor of Sokoto State during my second term in office.
However, the persistent internal crisis, leadership disagreements, and growing divisions within the PDP have made it increasingly difficult to continue my membership of the party. These developments have unfortunately weakened the unity and direction that once defined the party and have necessitated this decision.
Consequently, I have today officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) with my associates and supporters.
am convinced that this decision is guided by my belief that Nigeria needs a stronger political platform built on integrity, accountability, inclusiveness, and a clear commitment to national development.
I remain fully committed to the service of our country and to the ideals of democracy, justice, and national unity. – AWT
