Governor Peter Mbah's Defection Shifts Control to APC in 24 States

Governor Peter Mbah's defection from the PDP to the APC has given the ruling party control over 24 states in Nigeria, positioning them strongly for the 2027 general elections. This move comes amidst political realignments, with the PDP holding onto 9 states.
