Jigawa APC Stalwart Shehu Sule Udi Defects to ADC

Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu Duts, the former chairman of Ringim Local Government Area in Jigawa State, publicly announced his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This decision was driven by his strong conviction regarding the principles and policies of the new party, as he expressed dissatisfaction with the APC's governance at local, state, and national levels.

Shehu Sule Udi, a notable figure and former Jigawa State governor, along with ex-Minister of Defence Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, were mentioned in the context of this political shift. Udi's move to ADC is seen as significant, potentially boosting the party's influence among voters in Jigawa State, especially given his grassroots support.

While the defection has sparked reactions within the political landscape, APC loyalists have dismissed the impact of Udi's exit, asserting that the party remains strong and dominant in the area.
