The Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa, Mr. Shehu Kambile, has resigned as the Special Assistant (SA) to Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri.

Kambile announced the resignation in a statement on Wednesday in Yola.

According to him, the decision was strategic and enabled him to fully channel his energy towards strengthening the ADC as the state’s leading opposition party.

“My appointment was facilitated through the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IFAC) framework, designed to foster national cohesion.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve Gov. Fintiri but have to step aside and focus on my primary mandate: of building a robust and effective opposition.

“We crave for an opposition that can provide a credible alternative for the people,” he said.

Kambile commended former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, for his commitment towards promoting inclusive and democratic engagements within the ADC.

He urged all ADC members to unite and work together in steering the party to success. (NAN)
