In a significant development in Nigeria’s political landscape, two members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the House of Representatives have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Hon. Jallo Hussaini Mohammed Defects

Hon. Jallo Hussaini Mohammed, the Representative for Igabi Federal Constituency of Kaduna State, has formally defected from the PDP to the APC. This move is seen as a significant blow to the PDP, which has been struggling to maintain its strength in the National Assembly.

Hon. Adamu Tanko Also Defects

In another major development, Hon. Adamu Tanko, the member representing Gurara/Suleja/Tafa Federal Constituency of Niger State, has also defected from the PDP to the APC. This move further weakens the PDP’s presence in the House of Representatives.

Implications of the Defections

The defections of Hon. Mohammed and Hon. Tanko are likely to have significant implications for the political landscape in Nigeria. The APC, which has been seeking to strengthen its position in the National Assembly, is likely to benefit from these defections. On the other hand, the PDP will need to regroup and reassess its strategy to maintain its influence in the House of Representatives.

Conclusion

The defections of Hon. Jallo Hussaini Mohammed and Hon. Adamu Tanko from the PDP to the APC mark a significant development in Nigeria’s politics. As the country prepares for future elections, these defections are likely to have far-reaching implications for the political parties and the nation as a whole.
