The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced the resignation of Umar Jada, its Assistant National Publicity Secretary and North East Publicity Secretary. Jada, a close associate of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, submitted his resignation letter, citing the need to focus on other critical commitments.
In his letter, Jada stated that his decision to step down was effective immediately. He explained that the move was necessary to attend to personal matters that require his full attention. Jada, also known as “Calculate” in Adamawa State, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to the growth and visibility of the ADC. He assured the party that he would continue to respect its leadership.
Jada’s resignation comes as a surprise to observers in Adamawa State, given his long-standing association with the party and his role as a key supporter of Atiku Abubakar. As a prominent figure in the state, Jada had been a vocal advocate for the ADC and had played a significant role in promoting the party’s interests.
The ADC has been gaining momentum as a major opposition platform in Nigeria, and Jada’s resignation may be seen as a significant development in the party’s trajectory. His decision to step down may be attributed to the need to prioritize personal commitments, but it is unclear what impact this will have on the party’s overall strategy.
The ADC has been navigating a complex landscape in Adamawa State, with various factions and interests vying for influence. Jada’s resignation may be seen as a reflection of these internal dynamics, but the party’s leadership has not commented on the matter.
As the ADC continues to evolve and grow, it remains to be seen how Jada’s resignation will affect the party’s operations and visibility. Despite his departure, Jada has assured the party of his continued respect and support, which may indicate that his decision to step down is not a reflection of any deeper divisions within the party. The ADC will likely continue to navigate the complexities of Nigerian politics, and Jada’s resignation serves as a reminder of the ongoing shifts and developments within the country’s political landscape.
