Nakudu, accompanied by other politicians from across the state, was received by ADC leaders and supporters. The former senator, who chaired the Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream) in the 9th Assembly, resigned from the APC on Friday and joined the ADC on Sunday. Another prominent figure linked to the ADC is Aminu Ringim, a three-time governorship candidate in Jigawa State under the PDP (2015, 2019) and NNPP (2023). Earlier, the Jigawa State ADC coordinator, Ahmad Gumel, welcomed Nakudu and other defectors, describing the development as a boost to the party. Kundu added that Namadi’s performance would continue to attract support, expressing confidence that more politicians would join the APC.
