A former Director-General of Media and Communications to Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, Salihu Yakasai, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Yakasai announced his defection in a statement shared on his Facebook page on Monday, stating that the decision followed consultations with family, friends, and political associates.
“After consultations, we have decided to join the ADC—our new political journey. I have submitted my resignation letter from the APC and completed my registration with the ADC,” he said.
He also encouraged interested Nigerians to register with the party, expressing hope that the ADC would provide a platform for better governance.

Yakasai’s political journey has seen multiple shifts. In 2022, he left the APC for the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) where he contested the 2023 governorship election, before later returning to the APC.
His latest move comes amid growing momentum for the ADC, which recently attracted several high-profile defections, including nine senators from different parties, positioning it as an emerging force ahead of the 2027 general elections.
