Ex-ADC Candidates Join APC, Back Tinubu for 2027 Election
Former candidates of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for State House of Assembly announced their defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on September 29, 2026, citing the achievements of President Bola Tinubu's administration as their motivation. The group, led by Princess Aslam Aliyu, was welcomed into the APC by the party's National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja.
Hon. Mohammed Hassan from Zamfara, speaking on behalf of the defectors, requested equal opportunities within the APC and expressed their commitment to support Tinubu's re-election in the 2027 general election. Yilwatda assured the new members of their acceptance into the party, emphasizing the significance of their decision to prioritize national interest over personal ambitions.
He also defended the Tinubu administration against opposition criticism, highlighting its contributions to Northern Nigeria, particularly in infrastructure and empowerment.
