All three serving senators from Kebbi State elected under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have announced their defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The senators; Adamu Aliero (Kebbi Central), Yahaya Abdullahi (Kebbi North), and Garba Maidoki (Kebbi South), confirmed their switch on Friday following a closed-door meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The trio was accompanied to the meeting by the APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, underscoring the importance the ruling party attaches to the realignments taking place ahead of future political contests.
The defection is part of a broader wave of PDP defections to the APC in recent weeks, signaling renewed political maneuvering across party lines.
Also in attendance at the high-level meeting were Kebbi State Governor Dr. Nasir Idris, Sokoto State Governor Ahmad Aliyu, and the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu.
