Nasarawa Deputy Speaker Defects from PDP to APC Ahead of 2027 Elections

Nasarawa State's Deputy Speaker, Muhammad Adamu Oyanki, has made a significant political move by defecting from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections. Oyanki, who represents Doma North Constituency, announced his defection during a visit to the Governor of Nasarawa State.

This switch is seen as a major boost for the APC in Nasarawa State as parties realign for future elections. The defection comes amidst a wave of political defections in the state, with other lawmakers and political leaders also changing camps.

Recently, there have been notable exits from the PDP to the APC, including lawmakers from Kaduna and River States. The defection trend highlights the ongoing power struggles and realignments within Nigerian politics, with key figures like APC leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu playing a significant role.
