Mohammed Hayatu-Deen Joins ADC

Mohammed Hayatu-DeDeen, a prominent economist and former presidential aspirant, has announced his defection from the Nigeria — People s Democratic Party (PDP) to the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress (ADC). His decision, made public on Sunday, is driven by concerns over worsening insecurity, rising cost of living, and a shrinking democratic space in Nigeria. Hayatu-Deen, who contested the 2022 PDP presidential primaries, expressed disappointment with the unfulfilled expectations of Nigerians and believes the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress (ADC) offers a credible alternative. He has pledged to actively campaign with the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress (ADC) until the 2027 general elections, leveraging his experience in business and economic reform to address national challenges like job creation and economic stability. This move highlights the ongoing political realignments in Nigeria as parties prepare for the next election cycle.
