Fresh Crisis in APC as Popular Serving Senator Dumps Party

Senator Garba Maidoki, who represents the Kebbi South Senatorial District, has officially changed his political affiliation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

This announcement was made during a Senate session on Tuesday, when Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin read the letter detailing Maidoki’s defection.

In his letter, Maidoki expressed that his decision was motivated by concerns regarding recent developments within the APC, highlighting issues of alleged injustice and ongoing internal conflicts within the ruling party.

His words: “I am writing to inform Your Excellency, the President of the Senate, and the distinguished colleagues of my defection from the All Progressives Congress APC to the African Democratic Congress ADC.

“My decision is based on the lingering internal crisis of the APC that has made my political inspiration a source of concern. I believe that the ideas of the ADC are better for the benefit of my senatorial district and Nigeria at large.

“The All Progressives Congress APC has not exhibited its slogan as justice, peace, and unity, especially in Kebbi State during the just concluded primary elections.

“It is in this regard therefore that I wish to inform you of my defection to the African Democratic Congress which I believe guarantees my political aspiration.”
