2027: Sokoto ADC loses two chieftains to APC

Two chieftains from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Sokoto State, Abubakar Attajiri and Aminu Gidan-Kanawa, have recently defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in anticipation of the 2027 general elections. Attajiri, who serves as the ADC state deputy youth leader, and Gidan-Kanawa joined the APC along with their supporters on Saturday and were welcomed by the party’s state chairman, Haruna Adiya, and other leaders.

The decision to switch parties was reportedly influenced by the perceived achievements of Governor Ahmed Aliyu and former governor and senator, Aliyu Wamakko. Both defectors expressed confidence in the APC leadership in the state and pledged their support for the party ahead of the elections.
