Former Adamawa State Governor, Senator Mohammed Umar Jibrilla Bindow has resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), marking a fresh shift in the state’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections.
Bindow, who governed Adamawa from 2015 to 2019, announced his exit in a letter dated July 15, 2026, addressed to his ward chairman in Mubi North Local Government Area.
He said the decision followed “careful reflection” on his political future and commitment to public service, adding that it was time to take a new path aligned with his vision.
“I believe it is necessary for me to take a new path consistent with my responsibilities to the people,” he stated.
The resignation comes amid a wave of defections and internal challenges within the ADC, with several politicians exiting the party in recent months.
Bindow’s next political move remains unclear, but analysts say his departure could reshape alliances in Adamawa ahead of the next election cycle.
