A political leader in Kajuru and Chikun Local Government Areas of Kaduna State, Hon. Isah Danssaallah, has announced that he is considering leaving the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing concerns about the state of opposition politics ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement titled Declaration of Intent to Realign Politically, Danssaallah said the move followed consultations with supporters, political associates, and stakeholders across the two local government areas.He expressed concerns about what he described as fragmentation within opposition parties, arguing that internal divisions could weaken their ability to provide an effective alternative to the ruling party.
Speaking on his experience in the ADC, Danssaallah alleged that the party had been affected by internal disagreements, parallel structures, and leadership challenges. He said these issues had raised concerns about transparency and party cohesion.The politician, however, praised the PDP’s organizational structure, describing it as a leading opposition platform with established national and grassroots networks.
According to him, the proposed realignment is not driven by personal ambition but by a commitment to democratic governance, effective opposition politics, and broader political participation.Danssaallah said consultations on the proposed move are ongoing and that a final decision will be announced at a later date.
The development adds to ongoing political discussions in Kaduna State ahead of the 2027 elections, particularly in Kajuru and Chikun, two local government areas regarded as politically significant. Officials of both the ADC and PDP in Kaduna State had not publicly responded to the declaration as of press time.
