Taraba Speaker and 15 House Members Resign from PDP, Join APC Ahead of 2027 Elections

Taraba Speaker Kizito Bonzena and 15 House of Assembly members have resigned from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Taraba State. The defection was attributed to internal divisions within the PDP at the national level.

Key members defecting include Deputy Speaker Hamman Adama, Musa Chul, Jethro Yakubu, and Josiah Yaro. The move is significant as it could impact the political landscape in Taraba State ahead of the 2027 elections.

The Speaker emphasized that the decision was not based on personal interests but what is best for the state.
