Mohammed Yisa Gana
Mohammed Yisa Gana, former Nigerian ambassador to Japan and close ally of Bukola Saraki, the ex-senate president, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Gana announced his defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in a letter dated July 16, 2025, and addressed to the chairman of the PDP in Kpada ward II, Patigi LGA in Kwara.
He expressed gratitude to the PDP for the opportunities it provided him to represent his LGA, state, and Nigeria at various levels.
The ex-diplomat, however, said that he felt it was necessary to move forward in pursuit of greater progress for his people and the country.

“Please be informed that, effective from today, July 16, 2025, I wish to resign my membership from the PDP,” the letter reads.
“The decision to resign my membership did not come easy for me, especially considering the opportunities the party had provided me to represent my local government, state and Nigeria at different levels for which I am grateful.
“However, it has become pertinent to move forward to seek greater progress for my constituencies and Nigeria at large.

“As I leave the PDP, I am stepping into the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as my new party. I wish the party, PDP all the best going forward.”
Recently, Saraki, chairman of the PDP reconciliation and convention committee, warned that more high-profile defections could follow if the party fails to address its internal crisis promptly.
