The senator representing Bauchi Central, Abdul Ahmed Ningi, has reaffirmed his commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), dismissing reports linking him to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a personally signed statement, Ningi said: “I, Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi, wish to address the public, media, and my supporters with clarity and conviction — I remain a loyal and dedicated member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
I have spent my entire political career on the PDP platform, a party that embodies the hopes and aspirations of Nigerians.”
According to him, his service in the National Assembly — including 12 years in the House of Representatives, his tenure as Senate Deputy Majority Leader, and his current role as Chairman of the Northern Senators Forum — has always been under the PDP.
“My political journey has been guided by the PDP’s core principles of accountability, equity, and people-centred governance. I have never deviated from these ideals.”
Although he did not mention ADC by name, DAILY POST reports that the party, which has been adopted as the platform of the coalition, is gaining grounds in the political scene.
Ningi distanced himself from any such group, saying, “I am not affiliated with, have not endorsed, and do not support the formation or objectives of any political coalition outside the PDP. Any attempt to associate my name with such platforms is false and misleading.”
He called on the public to disregard any rumours about his defection, reaffirming his focus on building a better Nigeria through the PDP.
“Loyalty is not just a word; it is a principle. I stand with my party, I serve the people, and I will continue to lead with integrity and honour.”
