Former Senator Usman Bayero Nafada Quits PDP After APC Leaders’ Visit

Former Senator representing Gombe North and ex-Deputy Speaker of the House, Usman Bayero Nafada, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party. He cited the party’s ongoing internal crises and leadership disputes as reasons for his departure. Nafada submitted a resignation letter dated July 12, 2026, to his ward’s PDP chairman, effective immediately. In it, he thanked the party for the platform that shaped his two-decade political journey. His exit follows a courtesy visit by the national APC chairman and Gombe State governor alongside the APC governorship candidate and other party leaders. Discussions centred on unity, stability and Gombe’s future. Nafada has not yet officially declared a new party affiliation, though strong indications point to a move to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
