The Senator representing Nasarawa South Senatorial District, Mohammed Ogoshi Onawo, has resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing the party’s internal challenges and ongoing legal disputes as the reasons for his departure.
In a resignation letter dated July 2, 2026, and addressed to the ADC Chairman of Galadimawa Ward in Doma Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, the lawmaker said his resignation took effect from June 15, 2026.
According to Senator Onawo, the decision followed extensive consultations with his constituents, political associates, and other key stakeholders.
He explained that the party’s current internal situation and what he described as “endless legal battles” no longer provide the stability and support needed for him to effectively represent the people of Nasarawa South.
“This decision is the outcome of careful reflection and wide-ranging consultations with my constituents, political associates, and other critical stakeholders,” the senator stated in his resignation letter.
He added that the prevailing challenges within the party had created an environment that could hinder his commitment to delivering on the developmental mandate entrusted to him by his constituents.
Senator Onawo expressed appreciation to members of the ADC for their support during his time in the party and wished the party success in its future activities.
The lawmaker, however, did not disclose his next political destination.
His latest resignation comes just five months after he left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). In January 2026, Onawo resigned from the PDP, citing personal reasons before joining the ADC in March alongside eight other serving senators as part of a coalition-backed political movement.
The former PDP senator was among the lawmakers whose defection to the ADC was formally announced on the floor of the Senate earlier this year.
With his exit from the ADC, attention is now focused on his next political move as political realignments continue ahead of future electoral contests.
