Setback In PDP As Members Decamp To APC In Kebbi

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Suru Local Government Area of Kebbi State has undergone a significant transformation as numerous members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have defected to the ruling party.

The individuals who defected, hailing from Aljannare Ward, were welcomed during a political event on Saturday, organised by APC leader Alhaji Abubakar Shehu Naingila.

They attributed their decision to the developmental achievements of Governor Nasir Idris and Naingila’s support at the grassroots level.

Alhaji Shehu Agadas, speaking on behalf of the defectors, indicated that their decision was motivated by the recent departures of influential political figures, such as Hon. Muhammad Ruwa RK and Alhaji Riskuwa Dakingari, which indicated an increasing backing for the APC in the region.

The defectors committed their allegiance to the APC and expressed their willingness to support the administration of Governor Idris.

Numerous APC leaders, including Hon. Usman Abubakar Ladan, Hon. Faruku Abubakar Maisudan, and Hon. Muhammad Lawal Suru, greeted the new members and assured them of their complete integration into the party.

The gathering was attended by prominent APC stakeholders from Suru LGA and other areas.

Meanwhile, former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has expressed readiness to join any arrangement to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.

Naija News reports that former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, ex-Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, his counterpart, Rotimi Amaechi, Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and other heavyweight politicians are planning a coalition to wrest power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.

Amid the coalition talks, Lamido, a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stated in an interview on Arise Television that he is open to joining any arrangement, regardless of its nomenclature, to remove the current government from power.

Lamido accused Tinubu’s administration of dividing Nigeria along ethnic lines and using the institution of the state in manipulating, coercing and controlling the opposition.

The ex-governor also alleged that the entire government is not for Nigerians but for the political party.
