Sokoto Labour Party Candidate Joins APC Ahead of 2027
Comrade Aminu Umar Ahmad, the Labour Party's governorship candidate for Sokoto during the 2023 general elections, has officially resigned from the Labour Party and joined the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC). Ahmad announced his decision in an interview on Wednesday, stating that his resignation was based on personal reasons and not influenced by external factors.
He expressed gratitude to the Labour Party for the opportunity to contest in the 2023 elections and confirmed that he is aligning with the APC at both state and federal levels in preparation for the 2027 general elections. Ahmad urged Nigerians to prioritize the capacity and credibility of candidates over political party platforms, asserting that democracy in Nigeria would thrive if voters focused on competence and accountability.
Political observers believe that Ahmad's defection will strengthen the APC's structure in Sokoto as the party gears up for the upcoming elections.
