Gada, who served in the Senate from 2007 to 2011 under the PDP before joining the ADC in 2025, announced his decision following consultative meetings in Sokoto. He stated his intention to help “reclaim and rebuild” the PDP in the state.
However, Gada explained that recent developments exposed critical flaws within the coalition, including insufficient cohesion, unclear strategic direction, and inadequate commitment from key leadership figures. After consulting with political associates, stakeholders, and grassroots representatives, he concluded that the PDP offered a more organized and credible platform for advancing the state’s interests.
“The PDP is more structured, credible, and people-oriented for advancing the collective aspirations of Sokoto state,” Gada stated, emphasizing his commitment to inclusive leadership and good governance.
