In a major political development, all three Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators representing Kebbi State are poised to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Senate next Tuesday.
This disclosure was made during a high-level meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where President Bola Ahmed Tinubu hosted key political stakeholders from the northwest states of Sokoto, Kebbi, and Zamfara.
The delegation was led by APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and included serving governors, former governors, and influential figures from the region.
According to sources at the meeting, the decision by the Kebbi senators to join the ruling party is part of broader efforts to consolidate APC’s grip on the northwest ahead of the 2027 election cycle.
While the identities of the senators were not formally disclosed, the move signals a significant political realignment in Kebbi State and a potential blow to the PDP’s structure in the region.
Analysts view the expected defection as a strategic boost for President Tinubu and the APC, particularly in solidifying their Senate majority and expanding influence in key northern states.
