Director-General of Kaduna Governor Uba Sani Campaign Council Resigns From APC, Joins ADC
In a major political development that has sent shockwaves through Kaduna State’s political landscape, the Director-General of the Kaduna Governor Uba Sani Campaign Council has formally resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The high-profile resignation, which was confirmed on Friday, marks a significant realignment within the state’s political structure and comes at a time of growing internal tensions within the ruling APC. The former campaign council chief, who played a strategic role in coordinating and mobilising support for Governor Uba Sani during the last gubernatorial election, cited unresolved internal disagreements, lack of internal democracy, and a departure from the party’s founding ideals as key reasons for the decision.
Announcing his defection to the ADC, he described the move as a “carefully considered and principled decision” driven by the desire to pursue politics anchored on inclusiveness, accountability, and people-oriented governance. He expressed confidence that the ADC provides a credible platform to advance democratic values and contribute meaningfully to the development of Kaduna State and Nigeria at large.
The defection is widely seen as a major blow to the APC in Kaduna, given the strategic importance of the office he once held and his influence within the party’s grassroots and elite circles. Political observers note that the move could trigger further defections and reshape political alliances ahead of future electoral contests in the state.
Reacting to the development, supporters of the ADC hailed the defection as a boost to the party’s growing profile in Kaduna State, describing it as a clear signal of rising dissatisfaction within the ruling party. Meanwhile, APC stakeholders are yet to issue an official response as at the time of filing this report.
As political realignments continue to unfold across the country, this latest defection underscores the fluid nature of Nigeria’s political terrain and sets the stage for heightened political activities in Kaduna State in the coming weeks.
