A significant number of All Progressives Congress (APC) members in Gada Local Government Area of Sokoto State have defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing escalating insecurity and economic challenges as their primary reasons for leaving the ruling party.
The defectors were formally welcomed into the ADC by Senator Abubakar Gada, a prominent party leader. During the reception, Senator Gada expressed concern over the deteriorating security situation and its negative impact on agriculture, which remains the region’s main economic activity. He emphasized that the APC’s failure to address these issues has contributed to widespread poverty, unemployment, and hunger in the community.
Senator Gada further stated that the growing number of defections signals a shift in public sentiment, with many Nigerians seeking an alternative party that promises effective governance and practical solutions to the country’s pressing challenges. He assured the new ADC members of the party’s commitment to restoring hope and improving citizens’ lives.
This development highlights increasing disillusionment with the APC in Sokoto State and reflects broader concerns about governance and security across the country.
