IPIGSRSHALLOW:
Olodo, Tinubu never defected to any party. His party changed names or merged with other parties to form new ones. That's different from leaving a party to joining another one.

Slytiger:
Tinubu did not decamp.

lexy2014:
Which party did AD merge with and which name did it change to?

lexy2014:
What happened to AD?

IPIGSRSHALLOW:
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) was formed in 2006 through a merger of multiple parties, including the Alliance for Democracy (AD), the Justice Party, and the Advance Congress of Democrats (ACD). Additionally, several smaller parties also joined the merger.

lexy2014:
If AD was merged with other parties, which AD is still in existence?

TonyeBarcanista:
ACN -> APC is not defection! It's the product of a marriage as the previous party automatically becomes defunct while the successor party inherits everything about the former.

In otherwords, Tinubu moved once, AD to AC. ACN and APC are products of mergers.

Buhari moved once, ANPP to CPC.

Kashim Shetima has never defected.

The Alliance for Democracy is a progressive opposition political party in Nigeria. It was formed on 9 September 1998. At the 2003 legislative elections, the party won 8.8% of the popular vote and 34 out of 360 seats in the Nigerian House of Representatives and 18 out of 109 seats in the Nigerian Senate.[1] The party was reportedly formed to shore up the stake of the Yoruba people in the Nigerian federation following the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election widely believed to have been won by Chief M. K. O. Abiola, a Yoruba businessman and tycoon.

In 2007, Chief Dr. Christopher Ajuwa, from the Niger Delta region, ran for the of President of Nigeria under the AD.[2][3]

The party was embroiled in a leadership tussle between Mojisola Akinfenwa and Adebisi Akande, which lingered until September 2006 when the 'Bisi Akande faction merged with other opposition parties to form the Action Congress party



A faction merged with other parties. Go and read. Tinubu did not leave to join another party.

Was there ACN before the merger?
Did Tinbu and others leave to join an existing ACN? The answer is NO.

They formed a new party called ACN.

I didnt ask you for history.

If AD was merged with other parties, which AD is still in existence?

IPIGSRSHALLOW:
Do you understand the meaning of faction?

The important question should be - was there ACN prior to him becoming a member?
The answer is no.
A fiction of AD merged with others to form ACN.

Your Agulu packaged fraudster moved from one already existing party to another already existing party.
If that's hard for you to comprehend, then i can't help you any further

Sheuns:
Lies. AD is not AC/ACN and never changed to AC/ACN.

Tinubu left AD almost at the end on his tenure alongside disgruntled AD members including Bisi Akande when they had leadership tussles and formed AC which metamorphosed into ACN.

AD exists to this day and has its national chairman.

Olosho wey change location go turn virgin for the new hood. Just as Obi the Political olosho dey rebrand himself every 5 years.

Kashim Shetima has never defected.

Vision101:
The key word "formed" and not "defecting" to an existing party. Ditto for Buhari.

Sheuns:
So what do we call him leaving AD for the newly “formed” party?

Vision101:
He left where he was and formed another party. This would have been defection as used in Nigerian politics if the new party was formed by others and he left his existing party to join them.

If Obi had left PDP and formed LP, this wouldn't have been defection. But Obi defected to LP that was formed and ran by others to enjoy the benefits in LP which he couldn't get in PDP. Are you ok?

loffyloffy:
You can see how sectarian this Statisense is from this publication..and it is now clear they have an agenda.

PO became a governor under APGA even swore he will never leave the party, he moved to PDP, where he was a VP candidate and later LP.

All the three parties are still in existence, so clearly he has defected twice and I am pretty sure he will still defect for the next election.

BAT's movement is not a defection , as the parties merged in a coalition and the old parties no longer exists, at least not in the form it was before the merger.

Same thing Buhari, it was merger, not defection.

Statisense is rubbish being published as statistics
