The national youth leader of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Sultan Bello, has resigned from the party with immediate effect.

Bello announced his resignation in a letter dated September 24, 2026, addressed to the Chairman of the Ja’oji Gyadi Gyadi Arewa Ward in Tarauni Local Government Area of Kano State.

In the letter, Bello said his decision followed extensive consultations, careful consideration, and deep personal reflection.

The letter read, “After extensive consultations, careful consideration, and deep personal reflection, I write to formally tender my resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), with immediate effect.

“This decision has not been taken lightly. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served and contributed to the growth and activities of the party during my time as a member. I sincerely appreciate the relationships, experiences, and lessons gained throughout my journey within the ADC.

“I would like to express my profound appreciation to my principal, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, CON, for his guidance, trust, support, and the opportunity to work alongside him. I remain grateful for his confidence in me and wish him continued success in all his future endeavours.

“I also extend my appreciation to the leadership, stakeholders, members, and supporters of the African Democratic Congress for the opportunity to serve and contribute to the party.

“Please accept, Sir, the assurances of my highest esteem and regards.”

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Anambra State, Ndubuisi Nwobu, has blasted the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, for ordering that the First Niger Bridge be decorated with the pictures of President Bola Tinubu.

In a statement on Thursday, Nwobu described the move as sycophancy taken too far.

He questioned the idea of personally celebrating the President for the rehabilitation of public infrastructure, arguing that the funds used for the project belong to the Nigerian people.

DAILY POST recalls that Umahi had ordered that the pictures of President Tinubu would be pasted on the bridge upon completion.

Reacting, the ADC chieftain said decorating the bridge with Tinubu’s picture would not give the APC any political advantage.

According to him, Nigerians will vote for whoever they want on election day, noting that the government used money from the commonwealth to build the bridge.

“The Minister of Works’ directive for the First Niger Bridge to be decorated with President Tinubu’s photographs is sycophancy taken too far.

“The money used in the maintenance of the bridge is not Tinubu’s personal money. The money belongs to the entire citizens of this country,” he said.
