Three members of the House of Representatives have defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 elections.
Thaddeus Attah (Eti-Osa federal constituency, Lagos), Usman
Zubairu (Birnin Gwari/Giwa federal constituency, Kaduna), and Sani Noma
(Argungu/Augie federal constituency, Kebbi) left the Labour Party (PDP), All
Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ADC,
respectively.
In Niger state, Abubakar Buba (Chanchaga federal
constituency) and Ibrahim Mohammed (Bunza/Birnin Kebbi/Kalgo federal
constituency, Kebbi) moved from the PDP to the APC.
Mudashiru Alani, representing Ayedire/Iwo/Ola-Oluwa federal
constituency of Osun, and Adetunji Olusoji, who represents
Odo-Otin/Ifelodun/Boripe federal constituency, both defected from the PDP to
the Accord.
Meanwhile, in Taraba state, David Fuoh, who represents
Sarduana/Kurmi/Gashaka federal constituency, switched from the APC to the PDP.
Benjamin Kalu, the deputy speaker of the house, read the
defection notices during Tuesday’s plenary.
The lawmakers attributed their defections to the internal crisis in their former parties.
Subsequently, the house adjourned plenary to Wednesday over
the death of Muhammad Hassan.
Hassan, who represented Dawakin Kudu/Warawa federal
constituency of Kano state, died on April 10 after a period of illness.
