Adamawa State – Former Adamawa North Senator, Ishaku Abbo, has finally dumped the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 elections. Abbo said he has joined the Labour Party, alongside his supporters, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He attributed his decision to the leadership crisis at the ADC, both at the national and state levels.
The former federal lawmaker said conflicting court rulings had created uncertainty in the party.
“I am leaving ADC, not out of hate for the party, but to pursue our political aspirations because I carry the dreams of many people. Yes, I am a hope of a generation.”
