Mass Defection Rocks Jigawa State as Politicians Dump APC, NNPP, and PDP for ADCA

major political shake-up is underway in Jigawa State as a large number of politicians and their supporters have dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC

The wave of defections is being described as a serious setback for the three parties, especially the ruling APC. Prominent figures along with hundreds of their followers crossed over to the ADC in what looks like a strategic move ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to sources, the mass exodus stems from deep dissatisfaction with the recently concluded party congresses. Many politicians felt sidelined, marginalized, or unfairly treated during the process, pushing them to seek a new political home.

This development is part of a wider wave of political realignment currently happening across Nigeria, as politicians and parties reposition themselves in preparation for the next major elections.

The ADC is now positioned to gain significant strength in the state from these high-profile defections. More details are expected to emerge in the coming days as the defectors formally announce their move.
