Defections Hit Apc, Pdp As Lawmakers, Politicians Join Adc, Ndc by FuglyGurl(op): 7:17am On May 08

Fresh political realignments gathered momentum yesterday as federal lawmakers and prominent politicians dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

The senator representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, Abdul Ahmed Ningi, resigned from the PDP after more than two decades in the opposition party.

Ningi announced his resignation in a letter addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ningi Ward in Ningi Local Government Area of Bauchi State.

The lawmaker said his decision followed extensive consultations with political associates, supporters and stakeholders, describing it as one of the toughest decisions of his political career.

He noted that since joining the PDP in 1998, the party had provided him with the opportunity to serve the country in different capacities, including two terms in the House of Representatives and two terms in the Senate.

Indications suggest Ningi is aligning with the ADC coalition.

Senator Ibrahim Khalid Mustapha (Kaduna North) dumped the PDP for the ADC, citing protracted leadership crises and litigations.

Mohammed Bello el-Rufai, son of former Kaduna Governor Nasir el-Rufai and member representing Kaduna North in the House of Representatives.

He resigned from the APC following consultations with his “mentors.”

Joining el-Rufai in the House exodus were Umar Ajilo (Kudan/Makarfi) and Suleiman Richifa (Soba), who left the PDP for the ADC; Chinedu Obika (AMAC/Bwari) and Esosa Iyawe (Oredo), who defected to the NDC.

Obika, who briefly joined the APC from the Labour Party in March, cited a lack of inclusiveness in FCT APC congresses. Speaker Tajudeen Abbas allowed the defection despite procedural questions, noting the “mood of the nation.”

Esosa Iyawe resigned from the APC just two days after purchasing nomination forms.

He cited “irreconcilable differences” with Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo, who is reportedly backing Dr. Paddy Iyamu for the ticket.

Iyawe, originally elected on the Labour Party platform, has now moved to the NDC.

In Bauchi, former APC National Youth Leader Sadiq Abubakar resigned, citing the imposition of candidates.

In Enugu, NDC senatorial aspirant Chief Ogochukwu Onyema (OAU) stated that opposition figures are flocking to the NDC following directives from former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.

Onyema said: “We are for NDC, and we are for Peter Obi. We believe the salvation of Nigeria will come through this movement.”

The APC as a political party has already been saturated. The people who pretend to be loyal to Tinubu and APC who have been sidelined are just doing it because they have skeletons in their cupboard and will be victimized when they become more vocal. Believe me, the betrayal will be mind-blowing. Majority of the APC members don't even have faith in the present government and are in support of other political parties. But time shall tell.

All these ones decamping are retards or APC rejects with zero electoral values. The only party befitting them is NDC so that they can be soundly defeated cheesy

NDC does not have structures or offices anywhere in the country except Yenagoa and Seriake Dickson sitting room in Abuja. They don't have party offices anywhere in Nigeria except on the social media. Is that the party or people to be taken seriously grin

They probably don't agree with their party's consensus or know they can't win party's primaries.

You people are bringing up the “structure” argument again. The same thing was said about Peter Obi and the Labour Party in 2023, yet he performed beyond expectations nationwide. Many Nigerians still believe he won the general election but was rigged out.

Even without the so-called political structure, he defeated Tinubu in Lagos, despite all the established structures and influence there. That should tell you something.

The real structure is the people, not the greedy politicians who are paid to manipulate elections. Nigerians are becoming more politically aware, and things are changing gradually.

Don’t worry, 2027 may come with surprises that many people are not expecting.

Defections are picking up speed, while some states quietly stall on announcing “consensus candidates” even though decisions are already largely made at the top.

The delay is keeping aspirants in limbo, but the message is clear: those planning to switch camps should move early, before party structures fully lock in their candidates.

Timing, not just ambition, is becoming the deciding factor.

Same way you said Peter Obi and LP didn't have structure, but he disgraced the certificate fraudster in Lagos, Tinubu's own state.

Your eyes go soon clear.

You ignorantly said the same thing in 2023. The only structure APC has is a rigging structure.
Peter Obi has the Nigerian people as his structure.
We the people have rejected the ineffectual Tinubu.
