The APC Wave Begins: Abia Power Bloc Quietly Re-Aligning — State Structures Poised for a Full Collapse into APC.
A quiet but powerful political wave appears to be sweeping across Abia State. From strategic defections to elite endorsements and coordinated messaging from APC power brokers, the signs are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore — Abia’s political structures are gradually collapsing into the APC.
Dozens of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Katsina State have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), led by Hon. Salisu Yusuf Majigiri, the lawmaker representing Mashi/Dutsi Federal Constituency. The decampees were officially received by Governor Dikko Radda during his statewide appreciation tour in Mashi Local Government Area. Governor Radda, while welcoming the new entrants, highlighted the achievements of his administration across key sectors including education, health, agriculture, security, and youth empowerment. The tour also featured the commissioning of the 14.3km Daura Western Bypass Road, aimed at boosting socio-economic growth, enhancing security, and easing traffic congestion in the historic town.
The Rivers State House of Assembly has passed a vote of confidence on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, praising his leadership and urging him to seek a second term in office. The lawmakers commended his inclusive governance, key federal appointments to Rivers indigenes, and major infrastructural projects in the state, while pledging their unwavering support for the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, citing the ongoing crisis within the party’s national leadership. In a letter dated November 4 and addressed to his ward chairman, Adeleke thanked the PDP for the platform that enabled his rise from senator to governor but said he was leaving with immediate effect. His exit marks a major shift in Osun politics, with uncertainty now surrounding his next political move ahead of the 2026 governorship race.
