The Digest:

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has experienced a significant setback in Kaduna State, with over 200 members from Gubuchi Ward, Makarfi LGA, defecting to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This move is part of a broader realignment as opposition leaders rally behind the ADC ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Key Points:
  • The defectors were formally received into the ADC on Monday.
  • This follows a pattern of cross-party defections to the ADC, recently seen in Benue, where 10,000 members joined.
  • The ADC is gaining momentum as a preferred platform for a coalition of opposition figures.
  • Prominent leaders like Rotimi Amaechi and Nasir El-Rufai are actively driving this movement.
  • The defections reflect growing discontent with established parties and a search for alternative platforms.
  • This trend signals a potential shift in the political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections.
  • The APC and PDP are both experiencing member drain to the emerging ADC.
This wave of defections highlights the fluidity of Nigerian politics and the increasing appeal of coalition-building in challenging dominant parties.
