Zamfara ADC Dismisses Aslam Aliyu’s Defection to APC

The Zamfara State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed the defection of Dr Aslam Aliyu to the All Progressives Congress (APC), insisting that she was not a duly registered member of the party in the state.

Aliyu, an ally of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, recently announced her resignation from the ADC, citing the party’s alleged lack of a concrete plan to address Nigeria’s challenges.

Reacting in a statement, the ADC’s State Publicity Secretary, Abdulhakeem Umar, said the party’s records showed that Aliyu neither possessed a valid membership card nor completed the formal registration process as a member in Zamfara State.

According to the party, her departure would have no impact on its leadership, organisational structure or activities in the state.

The ADC reiterated its commitment to working with loyal and duly registered members who share its vision and are willing to contribute to the party’s growth.

It added that anyone unwilling to abide by the party’s constitution, ideals and objectives was free to leave.

“We also wish to make it clear that any other person who is not genuinely committed to the ideals, Constitution, and objectives of the ADC is free to follow the same path.

“Our focus is on building a disciplined, united and principled political party with members who are dedicated to its progress,” the statement read.
