Tambuwal Declares Politicians Fit To Join ADC

Former Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, has declared that only brave politicians committed to serving the people rather than pursuing personal interests can join the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Naija News reports that Tambuwal made the remark on Wednesday while receiving the immediate past Chairman of Tangaza Local Government Area, Isa Salihu Kalenjeni, into the ADC after resigning from office and dumping the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to Tambuwal, politicians who believe they are acting in the people’s interest and for the sake of God rather than for personal gain should have the courage to join the ADC.

He said, “Anyone who believes that what he is doing is for the people and for the sake of God, not for personal gain, should have the courage to leave any political party and join the ADC.” 

Tambuwal commended Kalenjeni for stepping down from his position to join the ADC without placing any conditions, describing the decision as a sacrifice and a sign of commitment to the party’s principles.

The former Governor also accused the APC of intimidating politicians planning to defect to the ADC while attempting to create divisions within the opposition party.

According to him, the ruling party now sees the ADC as its biggest political challenge.

While criticising the administration of President Bola Tinubu over the country’s security situation, Tambuwal noted that many Nigerians had become disappointed with the APC because of the continued insecurity.
