It has descended into chaos, internal betrayal, and systematic destruction by diverse forces who have no regard for the principles upon which the party was founded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSadly, voices of reason are no longer welcome, and genuine reformers are vilified or silenced.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can no longer, in good conscience, remain in a house that has been stripped of its moral compass and overrun by opportunists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maduabum declared that the ADC now offers a better platform for credible, progressive-minded Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ADC is emerging as a beacon of hope for good governance, integrity, accountability, and inclusive politics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt offers the opportunity for principled politics, genuine people-oriented leadership, and a platform for rebuilding our nation from the grassroots up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ADC coalition includes progressive-minded people like Mr Peter Obi and others.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI join the ADC not merely as a defector but as a reformer committed to helping build a new political culture \u2014 one based on merit, ideology, discipline, youth inclusion, and national unity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time has come for all well-meaning Nigerians to take a stand against the decay in our political system.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He called on those disillusioned by the current political establishment to rally behind the ADC and support the push for national renewal.<\/p>\n<p>Maduabum also restated his commitment to justice, equity, and democratic service to Nigerians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maduabum said the PDP had become a chaotic platform dominated by opportunists and stripped of its moral foundation.
