The Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa State, Shehu Kambile, has resigned as Special Assistant to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri.
Naijaonpoint reports that Kambile announced his resignation in a statement on Wednesday in Yola, the state capital.
Giving a reason for his resignation, Kambile said the decision was strategic and would enable him to fully channel his energy towards strengthening the ADC as the state’s leading opposition party.
Kambile also commended former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, for his commitment to promoting inclusive and democratic engagement within the ADC and urged all members to unite and work together to steer the party towards success.
He said, “My appointment was facilitated through the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) framework, designed to foster national cohesion.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve Gov. Fintiri but have to step aside and focus on my primary mandate of building a robust and effective opposition.
“We crave an opposition that can provide a credible alternative for the people.”
In other news, Fintrin has carved a political reputation for thriving as an opposition figure.
In 2007, he won his first major election under the now-defunct Action Congress, defeating a sitting PDP lawmaker in the State Assembly.
He later consolidated his profile by winning the 2019 and 2023 governorship polls when the APC controlled the Federal Government under former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Four months ago, the APC spokesperson in Adamawa, Mohammed Abdullahi, confirmed to Punch that discussions were ongoing with the governor.
