ADC and NDC Candidates Join APC to Support Tinubu
Candidates from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) have officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general election. This group includes six House Representatives and three State Houses of Assembly candidates from Taraba, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, and Plateau.
They were led by Princess Aslam Aliyu, the founder of Baba Tinubu Fisabilillah 2027, and were welcomed into the APC by the party's National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja. The defectors committed to mobilizing two million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming presidential election and emphasized their intention to enhance the APC's grassroots support.
Aslam Aliyu also indicated that an additional 23 opposition candidates would join the APC in the following two weeks. Yilwatda urged Nigerians to choose between continuing the Tinubu administration's economic reforms or reverting to previous governance failures.
