PDP Heavyweights Consider Defection to ADC After Meeting with Jonathan

A faction within the People's Democratic Party (PDP), led by former minister Kabiru Turaki, has engaged in talks with former President Goodluck Jonathan regarding a potential defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The faction, including notable figures like Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and FCT Minister Abdulrahman Moham, is reportedly dissatisfied with the PDP's leadership and views the ADC as offering a stable ideological platform for their political ambitions.

The meeting took place behind closed doors at Jonathan's residence in Maitama, Abuja. While it is unclear if any formal defection plans were discussed, the move signifies growing discontent within the PDP ranks and the ADC's efforts to position itself as a credible alternative ahead of upcoming elections.
