Ex-Jonathan Aide Waripamo Owei Dudafa Joins APC, Resigns from PDP Ahead of 2027 Elections

Waripamo Owei Dudafa, a former senior aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has announced his resignation from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to join the Progress Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections. Dudafa cited the need for a new political home after deep reflection and consultation with political associates and family members.

His departure from the PDP is seen as a signal of broader realignment in Nigerian politics. This move comes amidst other defections in Kaduna State, where three lawmakers shifted allegiance to the APC during a plenary session.
