The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate for Sokoto North Senatorial District, Ahmed Maccido, has joined the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Maccido was presented to the ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, by former Sokoto State governor and ADC leader in the state, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, during a meeting in Abuja.
The meeting followed Maccido’s withdrawal from the 2027 Sokoto North senatorial race on the PDP platform.
Tambuwal was accompanied by the ADC Deputy Director-General, Administration, Yusuf Suleiman, and other party leaders and stakeholders from Sokoto State.
Maccido had earlier notified the PDP of his withdrawal from the senatorial contest but did not initially state a reason for the decision.
His move to the ADC comes amid ongoing political realignments in Sokoto ahead of the 2027 general elections.
