ADC and NDC Candidates Defect to APC, Back Tinubu
Candidates from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections. This group includes one House of Representatives candidate and three State Houses of Assembly candidates from Taraba, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, and Plateau states, led by Princess Aslam-Aliyu, founder of Baba Tinubu Fisabilillah 2027.
They were welcomed by APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda at the party's national secretariat in Abuja. The defectors pledged to mobilize two million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election, asserting their commitment to enhancing the APC's grassroots support.
Aslam-Aliyu announced that 23 more opposition candidates would join the APC in the following two weeks. Yilwatda emphasized the importance of supporting the Tinubu administration's economic reforms and dismissed claims of neglecting northern Nigeria, citing ongoing infrastructure projects as evidence of balanced development.
