A publicity secretary in Nigeria’s Nasarawa chapter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) resigns and publicly backs the Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship bid. Multiple outlets report that Joseph Danjuma quits the NDC and declares support for Abubakar Adamu, described as a former Inspector-General of Police, who is the SDP’s governorship candidate in the state.
The reports largely track the same core facts: Danjuma leaves his party role as spokesperson/publicity secretary and then signals political support for the SDP candidate ahead of the Nasarawa governorship race. One outlet notes that he says he cannot serve effectively as a spokesman, while another adds that he joins or supports an SDP campaign effort.
While all coverage focuses on the resignation and the shift in political backing, outlets differ slightly in emphasis—some lead with the resignation, others highlight his endorsement of the SDP candidate, and one frames the move as joining the SDP campaign team rather than only declaring support.
