Jigawa State former Deputy Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Mahmud Gumel, has officially emerged as the new State Coordinator of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), marking a bold entry by the party into the political space ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The transition was formally sealed during a public event where the state leadership of the party, including Hon. Kabiru Hussaini, voluntarily stepped aside to allow the coalition-backed leadership to take over.

The outgoing executives also announced the dissolution of all ADC structures across the state’s 27 local government areas—a rare gesture seen as a sign of unity and reinvention.

“This bold move was made to pave the way for the successful takeover of the leadership of the party, as well as its structures, by the new members of the coalition led by the new state coordinator,” Hussaini explained after vacating his position.

Gumel outlined the ADC’s mission to offer Nigerians—especially those disenchanted with the current administration—a credible alternative.

“We call on Jigawa State people and all Nigerians to join hands with the party to create a better future for the country,” he said.

Gumel described the coalition’s rapid growth as a testament to the hunger for a new political direction.

“The party’s leadership has welcomed these coalition developments, emphasising its commitment to building a robust and inclusive democratic process,” he added.

While optimistic, he urged caution and civility among party faithful.

“We appeal to our members to avoid insults or attacks on leaders, whether in office or not. That’s not who we are, and it’s not the goal of this coalition. We’re here to build—not to bicker,” he cautioned.

Gumel also encouraged Nigerian youth to remain hopeful and involved. “We assure you that we are ready to continue doing the needful to bring about positive change in our country,” he said, calling for prayers and support from all corners.
