The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Publicity Secretary in Gombe State, Abdulrahman Buba Zaune, has officially resigned from the party with immediate effect.
His decision was communicated in a resignation letter dated August 5, 2026, and addressed to the Chairman of the ADC in Zaune Ward, Dukku Local Government Area.
A copy of the letter obtained by our correspondent on Thursday showed that Zaune expressed appreciation to the party for the opportunity to serve in several capacities at the local government, state and national levels.
“I sincerely appreciate the political party for the opportunity to serve in different capacities at the local government, state and national levels. I therefore wish the party well,” Zaune stated.
While the resignation letter did not indicate his next political move, his departure has fuelled speculation that he could be heading to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
His resignation comes less than a day after the APC governorship candidate in Gombe State, Jamilu Gwamna, paid a visit to Dukku Local Government Area, Zaune’s hometown.
The development has drawn significant political attention, especially as parties step up consultations and mobilisation ahead of the 2027 governorship election in the state.
Zaune’s exit also follows the earlier resignation of the ADC State Secretary, Ahmed Gana, who left the opposition party a few weeks ago before joining the APC to support Gwamna’s governorship bid.
