Gombe PDP Aspirant Abdulkadir Hamma Saleh Joins APC
Abdulkadir Hamma Saleh, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Gombe State, has officially defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in preparation for the 2027 governorship election. Saleh announced his decision in a press release distributed to journalists in Gombe, encouraging his supporters to follow him into the APC and back its candidates in the upcoming elections.
His defection comes amid ongoing disputes regarding the PDP governorship ticket, which saw Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami's initial candidacy challenged in court, resulting in a rerun of the primary election. In a related context, Sule Lamido, a former Governor of Jigawa State and a founding member of the PDP, asserted that the PDP remains the only political party to have survived since Nigeria's return to democracy in 1999.
He urged voters to compare the performances of past PDP administrations with the current APC-led government before making decisions in the 2027 elections.
