Momentum has continued to gather around the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa State as the Dasin-led ADC Transition Committee recorded a major political boost with the defection of key members of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Song Local Government Area.
A statement by Martins Dickson, spokesman of the Transition committee says the development formed part of the committee’s historic tour across the state, which has so far ignited widespread enthusiasm and growing grassroots support in Fufore and Yola South Local Government Areas visited Tuesday by the transition committee.
As the transition committee continues to inaugurate Local Government Transition Committees, hundreds of supporters and party faithful converged Monday to witness the formal reception of the SDP decampees in Song, where the defectors cited the ADC’s inclusive leadership, clear vision, youth/women inclusiveness and people-oriented agenda as reasons for their decision to switch allegiance.
The defection happened during the inauguration of song local Government transition committee members.
Speaking at the event, the Transition Committee Chairman, Dasin, described the wave of defections as a testament to the growing confidence reposed in the ADC by the people of Adamawa State.
He assured the new members of equal opportunities, unity, and collective participation in building a stronger party structure ahead of future political engagements.
Dasin stressed that the movement is about hope, credibility, and service to the people. Underscoring that our doors are open to all citizens who desire good governance and genuine representation.
The tour proceeded to Fufore and Yola South Tuesday where massive crowds turned out to receive the ADC delegation, transforming the visits into vibrant displays of solidarity and political awakening.
Local leaders and community stakeholders in both local government areas praised the ADC Transition Committee for its consultative approach and commitment to grassroots mobilization.
Rt. Hon. Sadiq Ibrahim Dasin inaugurated transition committees in Fufore and Yola South as directed by the National working committee through the Zonal Chairman North East of the party, Engr. Babachir David Lawal.
Speaking earlier, Hon. Bamanga Nuhu described the tour as unprecedented, noting that it had rekindled political participation among youths, women, and traditional supporters. Urging supporters in Fofure to strengthen their resolve in supporting former vice president Atiku Abubakar and the ADC.
Hon. Yahaya Hamanjulde recounted the anti people policies of the ruling APC calling for a United front and grassroots mobilization to massively vote for the ADC in 2027.
Observers say the growing influx of defectors and the overwhelming reception across key local government areas underscore the ADC’s rising profile in Adamawa State’s political landscape, positioning the party as a formidable force ahead of upcoming political contests.
As the Dasin-led Transition Committee continues its statewide engagements, party supporters remain optimistic that the momentum will translate into sustained growth, unity, and electoral success for the ADC in 2027 and beyond.
