In a stunning political realignment, former Governor of Adamawa State, Rt. Hon. Mohammed Umaru Jibrilla Bindow, has officially severed ties with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), announcing his resignation from the party and setting his sights on a new political frontier.
Bindow, who governed Adamawa State from 2015 to 2019, confirmed in a letter addressed to the PDP ward leadership in Mubi North Local Government Area that he was formally withdrawing his membership, signaling what insiders describe as “a calculated shift in political ideology.”
Sources close to the former governor reveal he is now poised to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition—a growing alliance positioning itself as a formidable alternative ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Political analysts say Bindow’s defection could reshape the dynamics of Adamawa’s political landscape, particularly as the ADC continues to attract disenchanted heavyweights from both the PDP and APC.
Bindow’s move is expected to be formalized at a high-profile ADC coalition meeting scheduled in the coming days, where party chieftains plan to unveil a new national strategy with the former governor as a key figure.
His defection marks yet another major political twist as Nigeria inches closer to a high-stakes election season.
