In a significant political shift, Senator Ishaku Abbo, who represented Adamawa North in the 9th National Assembly, has officially left the African Democratic Congress (ADC). His departure was announced on Sunday through a statement by the SIA MOVEMENT, citing the deep crisis plaguing the ADC at both national and state levels.
Abbo explained that conflicting court rulings on the party’s leadership have created a state of uncertainty for members. This instability, he noted, made it impossible to remain in the ADC. Consequently, he and his supporters have now joined the Labour Party to participate in the 2027 general elections.
The former senator expressed regret to those offended by his move but stressed that his decision stems from a need to fulfill the aspirations of many who look up to him. He described himself as a beacon of hope for a generation. He also stated that he has forgiven those who wronged him while he was building the ADC, though he will remember their actions.
Abbo revealed that he will soon announce his preferred presidential candidate, working closely with the Labour Party leadership.
