Sa'idu Leads Mass Defection from ADC to APC in Kaduna
Muhammad Sa'idu, the former Commissioner for Finance and Chief of Staff under ex-Governor Nasir El-Rufai, announced a mass defection from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State. Sa'idu claimed that over 200,000 card-carrying members of the ADC joined the APC, declaring the ADC politically finished in the state.
He was joined by former ADC governorship aspirant Jafaru Sani and former Senator Suleiman Abdu Kwari at a reception ceremony in Zaria. Sa'idu stated that his group, Kaduna De-Initiatives, had built the ADC's grassroots structure before leaving due to a leadership crisis.
He criticized the ADC's primary election candidates and predicted that the party would finish a distant third in the upcoming 2027 elections. The APC's Governor welcomed the defectors and assured them of equal opportunities within the party, while Sani announced an upward revision of the APC's vote projections for Kaduna State ahead of the elections.
