Gwarzo confirmed his departure in a letter dated May 1, 2026, addressed to the party chairman in Gwarzo Local Government Area, stating that his resignation takes immediate effect. “The decision follows careful thought and consultations with my associates, supporters, and well-wishers across the state,” he said.

He explained that recent political developments influenced his decision to step away from the party. “The changing political climate has made it necessary for me to reassess my membership in the interest of the people and the future of our state and country,” he stated.

Gwarzo added that his move was guided by his commitment to governance and national development. “My decision is based on patriotic reasons and the need to follow a political direction that reflects my vision for good governance, democratic principles, and sustainable development,” he said.

He also expressed gratitude to the party leadership and members for their support during his time in the ADC. “I sincerely thank the leadership and members of the party for their cooperation, respect, and support,” he added.

Gwarzo did not disclose his next political move, although observers believe the resignation may be connected to ongoing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
