By Abdulhamid Sani
In a shocking turn of events, Alhaji Ahmed Mahmoud Gumel, the former Deputy Governor of Jigawa State and leader of the coalition party in the state, has announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his subsequent joining of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This development comes hot on the heels of his appointment as the Jigawa State Coordinator of the Coalition of ADC just last week.
According to sources close to the former Deputy Governor, Gumel’s decision to leave the PDP was precipitated by internal conflicts within the party, particularly with regards to its leadership structure and lack of unity. In a statement, Gumel cited the need for a fresh approach to addressing the country’s myriad challenges, including economic collapse, insecurity, and widespread hunger.
Gumel’s defection is seen as a significant boost to the ADC’s ranks in Jigawa State, and his experience and influence are likely to play a crucial role in shaping the party’s fortunes in the state. The ADC has been gaining traction in recent times, and this high-profile defection is likely to further consolidate its position as a viable alternative to the traditional parties.
What This Means for Jigawa State Politics
Gumel’s resignation from the PDP and his joining of the ADC is likely to have far-reaching implications for the state’s politics. With his vast experience and influence, Gumel is poised to play a key role in shaping the ADC’s agenda in Jigawa State. His appointment as the Jigawa State Coordinator of the Coalition of ADC is likely to give the party a much-needed boost, and his leadership is expected to rally support for the party in the state.
Reaction from the ADC
The ADC has welcomed Gumel’s defection, with party leaders hailing it as a major victory. The party’s leadership has expressed optimism that Gumel’s experience and influence will help to further strengthen its presence in Jigawa State.
As the political landscape in Jigawa State continues to evolve, one thing is certain: Alhaji Ahmed Mahmoud Gumel’s defection from the PDP to the ADC is a significant development that is likely to have far-reaching implications for the state’s politics.
