The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) publicity secretary in Nasarawa State, Joseph Danjuma, has resigned from the party and declared support for Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship candidate Abubakar Adamu ahead of the 2027 election.
Danjuma announced his decision in a letter addressed to the NDC chairman in Nasarawa State. He said his resignation from both the party and his position as publicity secretary takes immediate effect.
He attributed his decision to what he described as a lack of opportunity to perform his duties as the party’s spokesperson in the state. Following his resignation, Danjuma said he had decided to join Adamu’s campaign ahead of the 2027 Nasarawa State governorship election.
His decision marks a change in his political affiliation as preparations continue for the next governorship contest.
Danjuma did not provide further details in the statement about the circumstances surrounding his departure from the NDC.
The development places the former publicity secretary in the SDP camp, where he has declared support for Adamu’s bid for the state’s top political office.
The NDC and the SDP are among the political parties involved in preparations for the 2027 elections. However, Danjuma’s letter did not state whether other party members would follow him to the SDP.
Further details about his formal move and his role in Adamu’s campaign were not included in the information provided.
“My decision follows the lack of opportunity to perform my role as the spokesperson of the party in the state,” he said in the letter.
