This wave of defections was formally received by Senator Abubakar Gada, a leading figure in the ADC coalition movement.
Senator Gada described the move as a reflection of increasing frustration with the APC-led government, especially in Sokoto’s Eastern Senatorial District, where worsening socio-economic and security challenges have hit hard.
“Our people face severe security challenges that have crippled agriculture—the backbone of our economy. This has resulted in poverty, unemployment, and hunger across communities,” Gada said.
The influx of new members into the ADC signals a strong desire for change and a readiness to embrace an alternative political platform.

“More people are now joining the ADC because they believe in our coalition movement to rescue the nation. The poor performance of the APC government has pushed Nigerians to seek hope elsewhere, and ADC is offering that credible alternative,” he added.
