Uthman M. Jibo, the Special Assistant on New Media to the Kebbi State Government, has officially resigned from his position and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Jibo announced his resignation on September 1, 2026, stating that the decision was made after thorough reflection and assessment of the current political landscape.

In his resignation letter addressed to the Secretary to the State Government, Jibo emphasized that personal considerations played a significant role in his choice to step down. He expressed a commitment to his personal convictions, principles, and integrity, which he felt necessitated this change.

Following his resignation from the government, Jibo also submitted a letter to the APC Ward Chairman of Galadima Ward in Argungu, formally resigning from the party. In this letter, he noted that his departure from the APC was the result of careful deliberation and discussions with his political associates and supporters.

Jibo reflected positively on his time with the APC, describing it as a valuable political experience. He extended his gratitude to the party leadership and members for the opportunities he was afforded during his tenure.

His shift to the ADC marks a significant change in his political journey, as he seeks to align himself with a party that he believes better represents his ideals and aspirations. This move may have implications for the political dynamics in Kebbi State as the ADC seeks to strengthen its presence in the region.
