Former Kogi Governor Idris Wada Joins APC, Shifting Political Dynamics in Kogi State
Former Kogi State Governor Idris Wada has defected from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This move is seen as a significant development in Kogi State politics, with Wada receiving his APC membership card during a ceremony at his country home in Odu, Dekina Local Government Area.
Wada's defection is expected to strengthen the APC's structure in Kogi East ahead of future political contests, including the 2027 general elections. Wada previously served as governor from January 2012 to January 2016, losing a bid for a second term in a turbulent election cycle that ultimately saw Yahaya Bello become governor.
