The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has gained ten members in the house of representatives following a fresh wave of defections ahead of the 2027 elections.

From the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Yaya Bauchi Tongo (Gombe/Kwami/Funakaye), Mani Maishinko Katami (Binji/Silame, Sokoto), Abdussamad Dasuki (Kebbe/Tambuwal, Sokoto), and Umar Yusuf Yabo (Yabo/Shagari, Sokoto) also defected to the ADC.

Mustapha Abdullahi, who represents Ikara/Kubau federal constituency of Kaduna state, joined the party from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Philip Agbese, representing Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo federal constituency of Benue state, defected from the APC to the LP, while Akanni Ademola (Boluwaduro/Ifedayo/Ila federal constituency, Osun) moved from the PDP to the Accord.

In Imo state, Ugochinyere Michael Ikeagwuonu (Ideato federal constituency) defected from the PDP to the Action Peoples Party (APP), while Nwogu Mathew (Aboh Mbaise/Ngor Okpala federal constituency) left the LP for the APP.

In Taraba state, Jaafaru Yakubu (Bali/Gassol) and Sadiq Abbas Tafida (Jalingo/Yorro/Zing) moved from the PDP to the APC.

Similarly, Bello Shinkafi (Shinkafi/Zurmi, Zamfara) defected from the PDP to the APC in Zamfara state, while Ibrahim Mohammed (Birnin Kebbi/Kalgo/Bunza) joined the ruling party from the PDP in Kebbi state.

Bashir Gorau (Goronyo/Gada federal constituency of Sokoto state) also crossed over to the ADC from the PDP.

While George Olawande (Amuwo-Odofin, federal constituency in Lagos) left the Labour for the ADC.

In Osun state, Oladebo Lanre Olomololaye defected from the PDP to the Accord.

Tajudeen Abbas, speaker of the house, read the defection notices during plenary on Tuesday.

The lawmakers attributed their defections to the internal crisis in their former parties.

From now till November, hundreds of Politicians will decamp to ADC.

Tinubu did not run APC like a National party or govern Nigeria like a president. undecided

He Ignored the North and hardly has time to visit SS or SE like Goodluck Jonathan or Obasanjo.
He governs as if Nigeria ends in Lagos and Abuja. sad

DEFEAT awaits Tinubu at the polls as he has Failed honestly. embarassed

Delusion

So it's no longer 1 governor 1 vote again ?


If you can celebrate the defections of ordinary house of rep. What if a senator decamps to ADC?


This should be enough for IPOB to win 2027 presidential election
Re: Defection: ADC Gains 10 Lawmakers At House Of Reps by Buccalcavity2: 11:36pm On Mar 31
Even in this defection list, APC is still up. Hope they can see evidence that APC is not depleted but gaining more! Nobody should come with we were rigged again!

Wow congratulations

This isn't betrayal or a shame bcs it's to ADC and because they're following footsteps of their serial defectors leader

Re: Defection: ADC Gains 10 Lawmakers At House Of Reps by AntiChristian: 6:26am On Apr 01
These 10 defections is enough for Obi to become president!

Obi is cooking!
Re: Defection: ADC Gains 10 Lawmakers At House Of Reps by Basic123:
But that same day APC gained 14

What type of news is this


They just want LagoOrigin etc to celebrate rubbish grin..celebrate ordinary 8 votes when another party gained 14votes against 200plus they already have in HOR.


There are some headlines you will read on nairaland frontpage and you will not but notice the sensationalism and agenda

News like.." NIGERIANS LAMBAST...."
..."NORTHERN YOUTH DID xyz"...."...when you check the news those people being refered to as NIGERIANS or NORTHERN YOUTH are just 6-8 people posting a negative comment under a post on twitter or facebook grin
Re: Defection: ADC Gains 10 Lawmakers At House Of Reps by Jilo83(m): 6:36am On Apr 01
ADC gained 10lawmakers and APC gained 14.

10>14 in your mathematics.

Governors with party structures in their state decamped to APC opposition said it doesn't matter.
