Northern PDP Governors Consider Defecting to APC Ahead of 2027 Elections

Four Northern PDP governors, including Bala Mohammed and Seyi Makinde, are contemplating joining the APC before the 2027 elections, raising concerns about the opposition's strength. The potential defections come amidst a trend of governors defecting to the APC, impacting PDP's hold in several states.
