A renowned youth leader of the Niger State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Shitu Adamu Evuti, has formally dumped the PDP for the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Evuti, in his resignation letter dated 18th July 2025, and addressed to the Chairman of the PDP in Evuti/Kpada Ward, Lapai Local Government Area, cited unresolved internal crises at the national level as the major reason for his decision to leave the party.
“I wish to formally tender my resignation from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), effective immediately,” the letter read.
He thanked his community, the people of Evuti/Kpada Ward, Lapai LGA, and the entire Niger South Senatorial District for their unwavering support and confidence in him over the years.
The former youth leader also expressed gratitude to the PDP for the platform and opportunities it provided, notably his emergence as the party’s candidate for the Niger State House of Assembly election in 2019 and his subsequent appointment as State Youth Leader in 2023.
He added that his resignation came after wide consultations with constituents, political allies, and key stakeholders.
Evuti said he would continue to serve the people under the platform of the ADC which he described as a progressive alternative.
“To the PDP family, I humbly seek forgiveness from anyone I may have offended during my time in the party. Personally, I bear no grudges and have forgiven anyone who may have wronged me,” he added.
