The Digest:
Aisha 'Binani' Dahiru, the 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa, has defected from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). The move comes exactly nine months after she left the APC for the ADC. She received her NDC membership card at a ceremony where NDC national leader Seriake Dickson welcomed her and named her head of the party in Adamawa.
Key Points:
- Binani said she was drawn to the NDC after studying its constitution.
- She said her supporters initiated the move, building inroads into the NDC.
- Adamawa now has the highest number of registered NDC members.
- Dickson described the NDC as "open, inclusive, and ready to harness your energy."
- Binani called for fairness, equity, and internal democracy within the party.
Binani's defection is the latest in a series of opposition political realignments.
