A prominent politician, Chief Cyril Maduabum, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Chief Maduabum, a two-term member of the House of Representatives and former Director-General of the PDP Governors’ Forum, cited deep disappointment in the current state of the PDP as the reason for his departure.
In a statement, Maduabum alleged that the PDP has been hijacked by self-serving individuals who prioritised personal power over party discipline, internal democracy, and the national interest.
He described the party as “a shadow of its former self,” plagued by chaos, internal betrayal, and systematic destruction.
Maduabum expressed his enthusiasm for the ADC, describing it as “a beacon of hope for good governance, integrity, accountability, and inclusive politics.”
He noted that the party offered a platform for principled politics, genuine people-oriented leadership, and rebuilding the nation from the grassroots up.
The ADC Coalition included progressive-minded individuals like Peter Obi, and Maduabum believes that the party has the potential to rescue Nigeria and restore its promise.
He remained committed to the democratic ideals of justice, equity, and service to the people, and is eager to contribute to the ADC’s mission.
