Former APC Lawmaker Defects to PDP in Kwara State, Boosts Party Ahead of 2027 Elections

Sahe Popoola, a former APC lawmaker from Kwara State, has defected to the PDP, criticizing the APC's governance and leadership. Popoola's move is significant for the PDP's strength in Kwara State ahead of the 2027 elections.

The defection is a blow to the APC, but the party remains strong in Offa with support for Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. Other political figures like Abdulfatah Ahmed and Abubakar Amuda Kannike are also playing leadership roles in the state.
