The article discusses the appointment of Alhaji Muhammad Bello Goronyo as the Director-General of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) campaign for the 2027 governorship election in Sokoto State. This announcement came shortly after he resigned from his position as the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state. Manir Muhammad Dan’Iya, the ADC's governorship candidate, praised Goronyo's experience in politics and public administration, noting that his previous roles, including being the PDP chairman and a commissioner, have given him valuable insights into the state's political situation. However, the current PDP chairman, Hayatu Tafida, claimed that Goronyo had already been removed from his position before his resignation and that he had not been a member of the PDP for about nine months, as he had aligned himself with the ADC. Tafida emphasized that one cannot be a member of two political parties at the same time in Nigeria.
