In a significant political shift, the people of Yashikira District—comprising Gure/Gwassoro and Yashikira wards—have officially decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The well-attended meeting, held in Gure, featured delegates from all village areas across the district, reaffirming their unified resolve to align with the ADC in pursuit of a more promising political future.
It would be recalled that all PDP officials in both wards—including the Local Government Woman Leader and several other key executives—had earlier renounced their membership and declared allegiance to the ADC in Baruten Local Government in Kwara state.
Addressing the gathering, Alhaji Hussein Mayan, Chairman of Yashikira Ward, and Mallam Issa Barka, Chairman of Gure/Gwassoro Ward, called for unity, cooperation, and dedication within the ranks of the new party.
They described the ADC as a “self-marketing” political platform—one that thrives on integrity, grassroots engagement, and collective progress.
This sweeping defection deals a significant blow to the PDP in the Baruten axis and underscores the rising profile and momentum of the ADC across Kwara North, especially in the lead-up to future political contests.
