Over 700 APC Members Defect to ADC in Sokoto
Over 700 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Goronyo Local Government Area, Sokoto State, on a recent Monday, marking the largest defection in the area this year. The defectors, led by former APC Secretary Alhaji Aliyu Tunau Shinaka and APC Youth Leader Alhaji Ibrahim Ado Taloka, expressed dissatisfaction with the APC's management under Minister of State for Works Muhammad Bello Goronyo.
They accused him of neglecting the local community, failing to improve the poor state of federal roads, and not addressing worsening security issues, including banditry. The defectors stated that Goronyo LGA is severely affected by banditry, with over 100 residents currently held captive.
They believe the ADC will better address their needs and expressed confidence in the party's potential to form a government at both federal and state levels by 2027.
