APC Welcomes ADC Defectors Amid Fuel Subsidy Concerns
On September 28, 2026, the All Progressives Congress (APC) welcomed former candidates from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) who withdrew from various State House of Assembly races in the North. The delegation was led by Princess Aslam Aliyu, also known as Gimbiyar Kauran Namoda, with Mohammed Hassan from Zamfara State delivering remarks.
Hassan stated that the defectors aimed to support President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda for 2027. APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, cautioned that any attempt to reinstate fuel subsidies would cripple the North and disrupt ongoing infrastructure projects, including major road constructions.
He highlighted significant projects in Northern Nigeria, questioning how the opposition would fund their subsidy promises without halting these developments. Yilwatda emphasized the importance of ongoing projects for the region's economy and questioned the implications of subsidy restoration on essential services and infrastructure.
