A Fresh Chapter Begins
Kebbi Senators Planning to Switch Political Parties, Meeting with Tinubu in Consideration of Joining APC [Video]
Consider this your heads up! Three senators hailing from Kebbi State - Adamu Aliero (Central), Yahaya Abdullahi (North), and Garba Maidoki (South) - are ditching the PDP to join the APC. Their new party membership will be formally declared during the Senate plenary on the coming Tuesday[2][5].
Faultlines and Frustrations
These senators' reasons for switch-outs center around the internal turmoil and fractures within the PDP in their home state. While the PDP views their departure as a self-serving act rather than a move for the greater good[2], they've continued to express confidence in their presence and standing within Kebbi State[2].
And the Show Must Go On
Despite the absences, the PDP in Kebbi State remains positive about its future, referring to the defections as a betrayal and vowing to maintain its presence in the state[2]. In return, the APC is thrilled about the influx of new members, viewing it as a substantial," forward-looking step heading into the 2027 general elections[5]. This exodus serves as a testament to the APC's growing influence, attributed to the leadership of President Bola Tinubu[5].
