PDP Reconciliation Committee Chairman Quits, Joins ADC
By The9JaTREND
Chairman of the Reconciliation Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Gombe State, Air Vice Marshal Shehu Adamu Fura (Rtd.), has formally resigned from the party and officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
His decision was contained in a resignation letter dated 3 July 2025, addressed to the PDP Ward Chairman of Pantami Ward, Gombe Local Government Area.
Fura, a retired Air Vice Marshal, has been an influential figure within the party, having contested the 2023 governorship primaries where he emerged third.
His departure is expected to shake up the political landscape within the state as the PDP grapples with internal realignments ahead of the next electoral cycle.
In his resignation letter, Fura stated:
“I wish to formally tender my resignation from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect. This decision comes after deep personal reflection and wide consultations, and is born out of my desire to continue my political journey under the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), where I hope to contribute more effectively to the advancement of democratic values and good governance for national development.”
He described his time with the PDP as one of “valuable experience and service,” recalling his participation in the 2023 PDP governorship primaries, where he placed third, deepening his understanding of grassroots politics and party democracy.
Fura also highlighted his role as Chairman of the Gombe State PDP Reconciliation Committee, where he worked to strengthen unity and internal cohesion within the party, describing it as an honour.
“These experiences, political exposure, and the support I received from the PDP at all levels, particularly from Pantami Ward, will always be remembered and appreciated,” he added.
He expressed gratitude to the leadership and members of the party for their trust and collaboration over the years, wishing the PDP continued progress and success.
“Please accept this resignation as a mark of respect and appreciation, and kindly convey my regards to the entire ward executive and members,” he concluded.
Fura’s defection adds to the growing wave of high-profile exits from the PDP as opposition alliances continue to reshape the political landscape ahead of the next elections. (Naijapoint)
