Nyako Defects to APC Amid Adamawa Political Crisis

Former Senator Abdulaziz Nyako has officially announced his defection from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This decision comes just months after he joined the ADC, following internal factional disputes within the Adamawa State chapter of the ADC, which have reportedly weakened the party's structure.

Political analysts suggest that Nyako's move is part of a broader realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections. The political maneuvers of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri have contributed to rising tensions within the ADC, prompting Nyako to reconsider his position.

A senior government minister described Nyako's defection as a sign of growing confidence in the APC, emphasizing that the party remains open to politicians who will contribute to national development and strengthen democratic governance. Nyako's return to the APC is expected to reshape the political landscape in Adamawa State, enhancing the APC's competitiveness among major political parties.
