Adamawa Assembly rocked by mass PDP defections

The crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party deepened in Adamawa State on Thursday as eight members of the House of Assembly resigned from the party.​ Those who left include the Speaker, Bathiya Wesley, the Majority Leader, Kate Mamuno, and members Moses Yerima Zah (Michika), Pwamwakeno Mackondo (Numan), Adun John Alaba (Uba Gaya), Bulus Kantom (Shelleng), Musa Mahmud Kallamu (Mayo Belwa) and Japhet Hammanjabu (Verre).​ They announced their decision during plenary, citing the leadership crisis at the PDP national level as the main reason for quitting. They did not disclose their next political platform.​ Their exit is the latest in a wave of defections from the party in the state. It follows the earlier move by Abdullahi Abubakar (Girei Constituency), who left on Monday, and six other lawmakers who defected on Tuesday.​ Party sources say the development may be a prelude […]

APC chieftain hails Gov Yusuf’s defection as turning point for Kano

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, Ahmed Dankabo, has described Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s reported defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the APC as a defining moment in the state’s political history. In a statement issued in Abuja, he said the long‑anticipated move marks a watershed for Kano politics and a major milestone in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic.​ Dankabo, a member of the APC 2023 Presidential Campaign Council in Kano, said the people of the state stand to gain the most from the governor’s decision, pointing to the prospect of improved governance and stronger alignment with federal policies. He argued that Yusuf’s switch has triggered a “political tsunami” across Kano, with citizens from all walks of life embracing the ruling party.​ “The momentum on the ground is overwhelming,” he said, insisting that Kano […]

Accord Crisis Deepens As Faction Picks Bamigbola As Osun Guber Candidate

In a new twist to the unfolding drama within the Accord Party in Osun State, a faction of the party has elected Bamigbola as its governorship candidate for the 2026 election. The primary, held on Sunday, reportedly drew about 300 delegates from across the state who endorsed him as their preferred flagbearer.​ This move comes only days after Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke was declared winner of another Accord governorship primary for the same 2026 poll. Adeleke, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, had earlier secured 145 out of 150 delegate votes in a primary conducted under the supervision of the party’s national leadership.​ The emergence of two parallel candidates highlights sharp factional splits within the party’s state structure. While the Adeleke camp enjoys visible backing from the national leadership, the Bamigbola group insists its process reflects the […]

Fears of One-Party Dominance Rise as Violent PDP Crisis Threatens Democracy

Fears of One-Party Dominance Rise as Violent PDP Crisis Threatens Democracy Nigeria’s democracy faces mounting threats as violent scenes at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) headquarters expose deepening rifts within the opposition. The struggle between Makinde-Bala Mohammed leadership and the Wike-backed faction resulted in the storming of the party secretariat, tear gas confrontations, and journalists injured in Abuja. The Wike faction expelled three governors—Seyi Makinde, Bala Mohammed, and Dauda Lawal—and several senior party leaders, escalating what observers call the largest purge in PDP history. Amid police intervention, Kabiru Turaki and his allies accused “enemies of democracy” of assaulting the party and praised law enforcement for preventing further bloodshed, though the crisis forced meetings to be postponed. Reacting to the incident, opposition parties ADC and MCE warned the ruling APC was destabilizing the opposition and accused the government of abusing state […]

Taraba State Governor Kefas to Join APC on Wednesday

Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas is officially set to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, after publicly confirming his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The move comes after several rounds of consultations and endorsement by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and top APC leaders. In preparation for the event, Governor Kefas has already inspected the venue for the defection ceremony and has been holding strategic meetings with key APC stakeholders in Abuja, including youth representatives at T.Y. Danjuma House in Asokoro. Party sources say the APC is set to organize a high-profile ceremony to welcome Kefas, which many analysts predict will strengthen the party’s presence in Taraba State and the Northeast ahead of the 2027 general elections. Kefas’s decision is part of a trend of major realignments in Nigeria’s political scene, as influential leaders […]

Two NNPP Reps Dump Party for APC Over Leadership Crisis

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the House of Representatives has gained two new members after NNPP lawmakers Abdulmuminu Jibrin and Sagir Ibrahim Koki from Kano defected over unresolved leadership crises. The Speaker, Abbas Tajudeen, announced their defection at Thursday’s plenary. Jibrin, chair of the House Committee on Housing, resigned from NNPP and the Kwakwasiya movement earlier in the week, citing “irreconcilable differences within the leadership” at state and national levels. Sagir Koki also cited the inability to properly consult and represent his constituency due to party issues. Their defection comes just a day after a Kaduna PDP House member also joined APC, signaling further realignment ahead of 2027 elections. Members blame internal conflict for hampering their ability to serve constituents and believe switching to APC offers greater stability and representation.
