Hassan Muhammadu, the National Assistant Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has officially resigned from his position and the party as the 2027 general elections draw near. His resignation, dated September 9, 2026, was addressed to the ADC Chairman in Bojude Ward, located in Kwami Local Government Area of Gombe State.

In his resignation letter, Muhammadu expressed his decision to leave the party after considerable reflection. He stated, "It is with deep reflection and esteemed regard that I wish to withdraw my membership from the ADC and also resign my position as the National Assistant Secretary and the Zonal Secretary of the North East Zonal Working Committee of the Party." He also conveyed his gratitude to the ADC and its leadership for the opportunities he received during his tenure.

The resignation letter has been forwarded to several key figures within the party, including the National Chairman, Senator David Mark, and the Zonal Chairman, Mr. Daniel Modu Bwala. Copies were also sent to the Gombe State leadership and the party leader in Gombe, indicating a formal and structured exit from the party.

Hassan Muhammadu's political career includes a significant role as a former Commissioner for Finance and Economic Development in Gombe State. His departure from the ADC is seen as a strategic move, as sources suggest he is poised to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). This shift is expected to enhance the APC's political framework in Kwami Local Government and throughout Gombe Central.

Supporters of the APC, particularly those aligned with the party's governorship candidate, Dr. Jamilu Isiyaku Gwamna, believe that Muhammadu's experience and connections will be instrumental in strengthening their campaign efforts. His status at both national and zonal levels positions him as a valuable asset for the APC as they prepare for the upcoming elections.
