Aslam Aliyu, an ally of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar in Zamfara state, has resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja, Aliyu said her decision followed a long reflection on Nigeria’s political direction and the capacity of the opposition to provide alternative governance.
“For almost two decades, I worked tirelessly within the political camp of H.E Atiku Abubakar ADC Presidential Candidate 2027. Throughout that entire period, my loyalty never wavered,” the statement reads.
“However, after almost two decades of dedicated engagement, it has become undeniably clear that the opposition lacks a meaningful development blueprint or a viable and sustainable national rescue plan.”
The Zamfara-born politician accused ADC of having “no concrete plan for the country”, other than “to criticise the government without bringing a single viable solution to the table”.
