An Adamawa State chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and ally of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Umar Jada, has resigned from the party.
Naijaonpoint reports that Jada, also known as Calculate, stepped down from his positions as Assistant National Publicity Secretary and North-East Publicity Secretary of ADC.
In a resignation letter dated December 1, 2025, and made available to journalists on Tuesday in Yola, Jada said, “I took the painful decision in order to refocus my attention on other critical life commitments.
“I write to formally tender my resignation as the assistant national publicity secretary and zonal publicity secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), effective immediately.
“The decision is based purely on personal grounds after careful reflection on my current commitments, responsibilities and the direction I must now take at this stage of my life. Stepping down is a difficult but necessary choice I made to allow myself to attend to pressing personal matters that require my full attention.”
He added, “I remain deeply grateful for the trust and support extended to me throughout my period of service. It has been an honour to contribute to the growth, visibility and strengthening of our great party. I cherish the experiences, the teamwork and the ideals we collectively uphold in our pursuit of a better and more democratic Nigeria.
“Please be assured of my continued respect for the party’s leadership and my unwavering goodwill towards the ADC. I remain committed to supporting the party’s values and aspirations in whatever way my circumstances may allow in the future.”
