Gombe ADC publicity secretary resigns

Abdulrahman Buba Zaune, the Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Gombe State, Nigeria, has resigned from the party effective immediately. In a letter dated August 5, 2026, Zaune expressed gratitude for his service at various levels, local government, state, and national, and wished the party well. His resignation has sparked speculation that he might join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), especially since the APC's gubernatorial candidate, Jamilu Gwamna, recently visited Dukku Local Government Area, Zaune's hometown. This development occurs just days before the 2027 governorship election in Gombe State, adding to the growing political activity. Additionally, Zaune's departure follows the recent resignation of the ADC State Secretary, Ahmed Gana, who also joined the APC in support of Gwamna's campaign.
