Former lawmaker representing Wukari/Ibi Federal Constituency, Danjuma Usman Shiddi, has officially stepped down from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing growing concerns about the current political environment.
In a resignation letter dated March 18, 2026, and addressed to the ADC chairman of Puje Ward in Wukari Local Government Area, Shiddi explained that his decision came after deep personal reflection.
He noted that although he joined the party with high hopes, emerging uncertainties in the political space could negatively impact both his future ambitions and the welfare of his constituents in Taraba State.
According to him, the evolving situation has made his continued alignment with the party no longer suitable.
“It is painful to leave,” Shiddi stated, while appreciating the relationships he built within the party.
He described ADC members as committed leaders and thanked them for their support throughout his time in the party.
Despite his resignation, Shiddi reaffirmed his dedication to serving his people, stressing the need to pursue a clearer and more effective political path.
He also requested the removal of his name from the party’s membership records and wished the ADC success in its future activities.
Copies of his resignation letter were reportedly sent to party officials at the local and state levels, as well as the Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
