Breaking: Senator Ahmed Barata Dumps APC, Set to Join ADC
Distinguished Senator Ahmed Barata, a prominent political figure from Adamawa State, has officially resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), signaling a major shake-up in the state’s political landscape.
Barata, who has been a strong voice within the APC, confirmed his decision to part ways with the ruling party after what he described as “deep reflection and wide consultation with key stakeholders and constituents.”
Sources close to the lawmaker revealed that the senator is set to be formally welcomed into the African Democratic Congress (ADC), where he is expected to play a pivotal role in strengthening the party’s structure ahead of upcoming elections.
The move, political observers say, underscores the growing appeal of the ADC as a viable platform for politicians seeking alternatives to the two dominant parties in the country.
Senator Barata’s defection is already generating reactions across Adamawa State, with supporters describing it as a bold step toward advancing grassroots-driven leadership and inclusive governance.
The ADC leadership has hinted at plans to host a grand reception in honor of the senator in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, where his formal declaration will be made.
With this development, the political equation in Adamawa appears set for a fresh realignment as parties begin strategic positioning ahead of the next electoral season.
