A wave of defections has hit the Kano State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as several of its 2023 general election candidates have officially dumped the party for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The announcement was made at a press briefing in Kano, where the group of former PDP loyalists, led by Hon. AbdulRahman M. Salga, gave insight into what pushed them out of the main opposition party.
Salga, who contested for the Dala Federal Constituency seat under the PDP and also headed the PDP One Family group, said their decision was the outcome of deep consultations with loyalists, relatives, and political partners.
“We took this step after engaging with our followers, relatives, and friends, who also expressed disappointment with the ongoing crises in the PDP,” Salga said.
According to him, the internal crises plaguing the PDP had reached a point where staying became untenable, especially for politicians committed to genuine public service.
“It is clear to us that certain individuals have turned the party into a personal enterprise, prioritizing self-interest over collective progress,” he lamented.
He described how years of infighting, factionalism, and self-centered politics within the PDP had eroded the party’s foundation in Kano, leaving many members disillusioned and sidelined. “Our political journey is about providing meaningful solutions to the problems facing our people, especially the common man,” he said. “After careful consideration, we, as candidates, decided to move to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), where we can pursue our goals without hindrance.” Also speaking, another ex-PDP candidate, Mainasara, aligned with Salga’s position, saying their exit was long overdue.
“Our return to the ADC marks the beginning of a new chapter where we will conduct our political activities with ambition, freedom, and a commitment to solving the challenges facing the people of Kano and Nigeria at large,” he stated.
He hinted that plans were already underway for a major rally in Kano to welcome the defectors and present their roadmap under the ADC platform.
