The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Adamawa State, Hamza Madagali, the state working committee, executive members, and 21 local government chairmen have dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Madagali confirmed the decision at the party secretariat in Yola, the capital of Adamawa State, on Friday, February 27, 2026.
The development marks a significant political shift in the state and follows the defection of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri to the APC.
Addressing party members, Madagali said the governor’s leadership direction required “collective alignment to sustain good governance and protect ongoing development”.
He described the decision as carefully considered after consultations with stakeholders across the state.
“This is about continuity, stability, and securing greater dividends of democracy for our people,” he said.
Madagali added that the move was driven by the need to consolidate achievements recorded under the present administration.

He urged executive members and local government chairmen to remain united and act in the overall interest of the state.
“Unity will keep us strong and relevant. Together, let us remain committed to peace, stability, and the advancement of Adamawa,” Madagali stated.
He stressed that political realignment should not distract from governance or service delivery to citizens.
Madagali assured supporters that the transition would be peaceful and guided by respect for democratic principles.
