The youth leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Niger State Shitu Adamu Evuti has dumped the party and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Naijaonpoint reports that he announced his resignation on Friday, July 18, 2025, through a letter addressed to the PDP Chairman in Evuti/Kpada Ward, Lapai Local Government Area.
Evuti explained that his decision was mainly due to the internal issues at the PDP’s national level.
He said he had consulted with community members, political allies, and key figures before deciding to move to ADC.
He explained that the new party offers a better path for his political journey and service to the people.
While stepping away from the PDP, Evuti thanked his supporters across Lapai LGA and the Niger South Senatorial District for standing by him.
He also appreciated the PDP for giving him opportunities in the past, including running for a seat in the Niger State House of Assembly in 2019 and later becoming the State Youth Leader in 2023 after the death of his predecessor, Mohammed Usman Vatsa.
“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,” the resignation letter read.
