Ganduje’s ex-aide Yakasai exits APC, joins ADC
A former Director-General of Media and Communications to Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, Salihu Yakasai, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress and joined the African Democratic Congress.
In a statement shared via his Facebook page on Monday, Yakasai said the decision followed wide consultations with his family, friends, and political associates.
He said, “After advising and contacting family and friends and other political activists, we have decided to join the ADC Party New Journey! Already, I submitted my exit letter from APC and registration in our new party ADC.
“Those interested in joining the ADC party can register through” the party link “shortly you will get your membership card!
“We pray to God that this is the best, and may the ADC establish government above and beyond, and may it be a blessing to all Nigerians amen!”
Very Nigerian reports that Yakasai had in 2022 defected from the APC to join the Peoples Redemption Party to contest as its gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 election.
He later rejoined the ruling party.
The defection comes amid growing momentum for the ADC, which recently welcomed nine senators from various parties in mid-March 2026, positioning it as a rising force in Nigeria’s opposition politics ahead of the 2027 general elections.
