Adamawa Senator dumps PDP for ADC

The Senator representing Adamawa South District, Binos Yaroe, has dumped  the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Yare disclosed this on Saturday during an interactive session with journalists in Yola.

The senator said his decision to leave the PDP was guided by political conviction, loyalty and a commitment to ensure the survival of a strong opposition in the country.

According to him, the move was part of a collective strategy by opposition lawmakers to prevent Nigeria from sliding into a one-party system.

“We cannot all move to the ruling party. If everyone joins the APC, there will be no opposition left in the country.

“Democracy thrives when there is a strong voice of dissent,” Yaroe said.

He revealed that nine senators from different opposition parties, including the Labour Party, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the PDP, had jointly resolved to defect to the ADC.

Yaroe explained that the move was aimed at strengthening opposition politics ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The lawmaker said that after formally resigning his membership of the PDP on February 19, he embarked on extensive consultations with political allies and other opposition lawmakers before deciding to join the ADC.

According to him, his exit from the PDP followed wide consultations with constituents across the nine Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Adamawa South Senatorial District.

Yaroe said the PDP had become deeply divided by internal crises, making it difficult for aspirants to confidently contest elections on its platform.

“I first consulted my supporters across the nine local governments in my constituency.

“The PDP has become fractured into several factions and nobody can confidently say which one is legitimate,” he stated.
