PDP Governors Defect to APC in 2025 Causing Leadership Crisis

In 2025, a significant number of PDP governors, such as Fubara, switched allegiance to the APC, triggering a leadership crisis within the PDP. Factors like aligning with ruling party benefits and regional political calculations influenced the defections.

Notable figures like Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi played roles in these political shifts. The defections highlighted the evolving political landscape in states like Delta, Anambra, and Bayelsa, impacting the balance of power.
