The 2023 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kebbi State, Aminu Bande, has joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) following his resignation from the PDP.
Bande, a retired major general, was received by the state ADC Chairman, Sufiyanu Bala, at the party’s secretariat on Monday, where he was issued his membership card.
He had resigned from the PDP on Sunday in a letter addressed to his ward chairman in Nasarawa I, Birnin Kebbi, stating that the decision takes immediate effect.
According to him, the move followed extensive reflection and consultations with associates and stakeholders.
Bande said the resignation was necessary to align with what he described as the collective decision of his people to embrace a more stable political platform focused on promoting good, just and fair governance in Kebbi State and Nigeria at large.
Although he did not initially state his next political destination in the resignation letter, his formal reception into the ADC has now confirmed his new political alignment.
Bande was the PDP governorship candidate in the 2023 general elections but lost to the incumbent governor, Nasir Idris.
