21 LG Chairmen and 226 Councillors Join APC in Adamawa
On October 19, 2026, a significant political shift occurred in Adamawa State as 21 local government chairmen and 226 councillors defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The council chairmen submitted resignation letters to their respective ward chairmen across all 21 local governments.
Many of these letters mentioned personal reasons following discussions with family and political associates. Akham Jalo, the chairman of Demsa Local Government Area, expressed that his decision was motivated by a desire to facilitate development for his constituency.
He thanked the PDP leadership for the opportunity to serve and encouraged his supporters to back the APC. Victor Dogo, the Adamawa State APC Publicity Secretary, confirmed the formal joining of all 21 chairmen and the 226 councillors to the APC.
Political analysts described this defection as a strategic move that had been anticipated for some time.
