Title: Kebbi's PDP Senators Bolt for APC in High-Profile Meeting with Tinubu

In a shocking turn of events, three Senators representing Kebbi State—Adamu Aliero (Central), Yahaya Abdullahi (North), and Garba Maidoki (South)—have jumped ship from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and are now sailing with the All Progressives Congress (APC), following a faced-paced meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Friday, May 9, 2025.

According to our site's reports, this sensational move was disclosed during the aforementioned meeting, which also included heavyweights such as Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris, Sokoto State Governor Ahmad Aliyu, and Minister of Budget and Economic Planning Senator Atiku Bagudu. The news was shared via social media by Tinubu's Special Assistant, Dada Olusegun.

Tinubu's post read, "President Bola Ahmed Tinubu hosts Governors, Former Governors and Political Stakeholders of the Caliphate of Sokoto, Kebbi And Zamfara. APC chairman Abdullahi Ganduje led the stakeholders to the Presidential Villa where they informed Mr President that all three PDP Senators from Kebbi State will decamp to the APC at the floor of the Senate next week Tuesday."

In another update, Olusegun wrote, "Senator Adamu Aliero representing Kebbi Central, Senator Yahaya Abubakar Abdullahi representing Kebbi North, and Senator Garba Maidoki representing kebbi South formerly of the PDP have completed their medicals and are on their way to the APC."

APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, later confirmed the defection, stating during a briefing with State House Correspondents, "For Kebbi State, a lot of discussion, negotiation went on underground between major stakeholders in Kebbi State. And now they have come to the conclusion that the three PDP Senators from the state are decamping to our great party, the APC. This is a good development."

The PDP leadership in Kebbi State appears to be drowning in alarm, scrambling to prevent the defections by organizing emergency meetings and exploring strategies like court action and personal engagements.

These defections, coming on the heels of numerous PDP lawmakers jumping ship to APC, suggest that the ruling party is gaining steam, chipping away at PDP’s stronghold in key states, such as Kebbi. In the midst of upcoming elections and legislative sessions, the senators’ decision to align with APC is expected to bolster the party’s standing in Kebbi State and the National Assembly.

Stay tuned for more updates on this breaking story. Are we in for a political storm or a new dawn in Kebbi politics? Only time will tell.
