2027: 3 House of Reps members dump LP, APC, PDP for ADC

Three representatives from the House of Representatives Nigeria have joined hands with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in a development that marks an early alignment in politics in preparation for the general elections slated for 2027.

The development comes amid efforts by politicians in the country to position themselves with different political parties as political engagements start picking up pace in Nigeria.

Thaddeus Attah, who represents the Eti-Osa federal constituency in Lagos, Usman Zubairu, representing Birnin Gwari/Giwa federal constituency in Kaduna, and Sani Noma representing Argungu/Augie federal constituency in Kebbi have all joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

In Niger State, Abubakar Buba, Chanchaga federal constituency and Ibrahim Mohammed, Bunza/Birnin Kebbi/Kalgo federal constituency, Kebbi, changed from the PDP to APC.

On the other hand, Mudashiru Alani from Ayedire/Iwo/Ola-Oluwa federal constituency of Osun, and Adetunji Olusoji from Odo-Otin/Ifelodun/Boripe federal constituency have left the PDP and joined Accord.

Further, David Fuoh from Sarduana/Kurmi/Gashaka federal constituency of Taraba state abandoned APC for the PDP.

This defection was announced by Benjamin Kalu, deputy speaker of the house in the Tuesday’s sitting of the plenary.

They cited the internal wrangles that exist in their previous parties for their defection.

The plenary was suspended until Wednesday due to the death of Muhammad Hassan.

Muhammad Hassan who was a member of Dawakin Kudu/Warawa federal constituency of Kano State died on April 10th following a period of illness.
