The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has received a major boost in Jigawa State following the defection of Bello Muhammad Zaki from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
In a resignation letter dated 1st January, 2026, and addressed to the Chairman of NNPP, Unguwar Gabas Ward, Kazaure Local Government Area, Zaki formally announced his decision to leave the party.
He explained that the move followed extensive consultations with relevant stakeholders and like-minded individuals, leading to his resolution to join the ADC with immediate effect.
In the letter, Zaki expressed appreciation to his former party and wished it well in the new year.
He also attached his NNPP membership identification card as part of the resignation process. The letter was duly addressed to the Ward Chairman of Unguwar Gabas Ward.
Bello Muhammad Zaki is a well-known journalist with vast experience in print media. Over the years, he has held several key positions, including Editor-in-Chief of Shield Newspaper and Editor of Aminiya Newspaper, among other notable roles in print journalism.
He also served as Chief Press Secretary during the tenure of Badaru Abubakar as the Executive Governor of Jigawa State.
Given his wealth of experience and professional expertise, Bello Muhammad Zaki is expected to leverage this new political opportunity to further build and strengthen his political career within the ADC.
