Ex-Senator Aduda Joins APC, Backs Tinubu for 2027

Philip Tanimu Aduda, a former senator and the minority leader representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the 9th National Assembly, has officially defected from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This announcement was made on Tuesday via a statement from the party's official channels.

Aduda has committed to working towards ensuring a victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the FCT in the upcoming 2027 elections. His formal welcome into the APC was conducted by the party's national chairman, Prof.

Nentaw Goshw Yilwatda, alongside members of the national working committee. Aduda's resignation from the PDP is attributed to ongoing internal crises within the party, which have influenced his decision to join the APC.
