Why Did Uba Sani’s Campaign Director-General Quit APC for ADC? Does Prof Muhammad Sani Bello’s Resignation Signal a Growing Crack in Kaduna Politics Ahead of Future Elections?
Is the All Progressives Congress (APC) beginning to lose key political figures in Kaduna State? That question has taken center stage following the resignation of Prof. Muhammad Sani Bello, the former Director-General of Governor Uba Sani’s 2023 Campaign Council, who has formally defected from the APC to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Bello, a respected academic and former Commissioner of Education and Commissioner of Communications in Kaduna State, announced his decision in a resignation letter dated January 7, 2026, addressed to the APC Chairman of Dogarawa Ward, Sabon Gari Local Government Area. In the letter, he stated unequivocally: “This is to let you know of my decision to withdraw my membership of the APC with immediate effect.”
Despite his exit, Bello maintained a diplomatic tone, expressing appreciation for his time in the party and describing his relationship with the APC as “mutually beneficial.” He concluded the letter with formal courtesies, signaling a calculated and orderly departure rather than a public confrontation.
His defection is politically significant. Bello was not only a former commissioner but also a central strategist in Governor Uba Sani’s 2023 election victory, making his exit one of the most high-profile departures from the ruling party in Kaduna in recent times. Observers see the move as more than a routine party switch—it raises deeper questions about internal cohesion, loyalty, and ideological direction within the APC at the state level.
Why did such a prominent figure abandon the ruling party for the ADC, a smaller but increasingly vocal opposition platform? While Bello did not publicly disclose his reasons beyond the formal resignation, analysts suggest the move may reflect growing dissatisfaction among some party elites, strategic realignment ahead of future elections, or concerns over political inclusion and governance style.
The development also underscores the ADC’s quiet efforts to attract influential politicians, potentially reshaping opposition politics in Kaduna. With Bello’s credentials in governance, education, and communications, his presence could strengthen the ADC’s structure and messaging, especially in urban and intellectual circles.
Politically, the defection fuels speculation about possible cracks within the APC’s power base in the state. Could more high-ranking members follow? Does this mark the beginning of a broader realignment ahead of upcoming electoral cycles? And what impact might this have on Governor Uba Sani’s political machinery?
As Kaduna’s political landscape continues to evolve, Bello’s resignation from the APC and entry into the ADC signals a moment of uncertainty—and opportunity. Whether this move becomes a catalyst for wider shifts or remains an isolated defection will shape the balance of power in the state’s future political battles.
