Mr Danji Shidi, a former House or Representative member, representing Wukari/Ibi Federal constituency in Taraba has joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) after he resigned from All Progressives Congress (APC).
This is contained in a statement he personally signed and issued on Saturday in Jalingo.
“After due deligence, and wide consultations, I am pleased to announce that we will be charting a new course under the banner of the ADC.
“I want to begin by expressing my deepest gratitude for the love and solidarity you have shown since the day I stepped away from the ruling APC.
“Your overwhelming support is proof of the strength of our shared vision that this movement is genuine, resolute, and committed to rescuing the people of Taraba from the grip of bad governance.
“This will serve as our platform as we actively engage in the democratic process leading into the 2027 elections.
“I therefore call on all my supporters, sympathizers, and every lover of good governance to rally behind this movement.
“Let us join hands to liberate the downtrodden, lift our people from poverty, and bring succor to communities in need, by standing firmly with the ADC in every way,” he said.
Recall that Shidi, a two term member house of representatives, contested for Taraba South Senatorial seat on the platform of the APC in the 2023 geneal elections.
The APC eventually won, but the supreme Court judgement on the party’s internal wranglings went in favour of sen. David Jimkuta.
