The 2023 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kebbi State, Aminu Bande, has defected to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, following his resignation from the PDP.
Bande was formally received on Monday by the Kebbi State ADC Chairman, Sufiyanu Bala, at the party’s state secretariat, where he was presented with his membership card.
DAILY POST had earlier reported that the retired army general resigned from the PDP on Sunday, stating in a letter addressed to his ward chairman in Nasarawa I, Birnin Kebbi, that his decision takes immediate effect.
He said the move followed extensive consultations and reflection with political associates and stakeholders.
Bande explained that his resignation was necessary to align with what he described as the collective decision of his people to adopt a more stable platform capable of delivering good, just, and fair governance in Kebbi State and Nigeria.
Although he did not initially disclose his next political destination in the resignation letter, his reception into the ADC confirms his new alignment.
Bande was the PDP’s governorship flagbearer in the 2023 general elections, where he lost to the incumbent governor, Nasir Idris.
