In a significant political shift in Yobe State, former Minister of Police Affairs and two-time gubernatorial candidate under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Adamu Maina Waziri, has officially resigned from the party.
Waziri, a prominent political figure in the North-East, submitted his resignation letter and returned his PDP membership card at Dogon-Tubo Ward in Potiskum. Speaking during the handover, he described the decision to leave the PDP as painful but necessary, citing the need for a new political direction after years of dedication to the party.
Similarly, Zainab Boni-Haruna, wife of former Adamawa State Governor Boni Haruna and a native of Yobe State, also announced her resignation from the PDP. She formally exited the party at her ward in Kukar Gadu, Fika Local Government Area, declaring her move to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Zainab Haruna called on her supporters and other Nigerians to join her in supporting the ADC, stressing the party’s potential to deliver credible leadership and better governance ahead of the 2027 general elections.
These defections are seen as part of a broader political realignment in the build-up to the next electoral cycle.
