The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State witnessed a major political gain on Saturday as twelve opposition lawmakers and several other politicians defected to the ruling party.
Governor Uba Sani received the defectors at a rally held at the Murtala Mohammed Square, describing the influx as a “major endorsement” of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. Sani stated: “This is more than a political shift; it’s a reaffirmation of our shared vision for a stronger, united Nigeria,” Sani said.

The dozen lawmakers crossing to the APC included six members of the House of Representatives: Amos Magaji (Jaba/Zango Kataf), Donatus Matthew (Kaura), Sadiq Ango-Abdullahi (Sabon Gari), Aliyu Abdullahi (Ikara/Kubau), Abdulkarim Kero (Kaduna South), and Hussaini Jalo (Igabi).
The other six were members of the Kaduna State House of Assembly: Shehu Nulge (Magajin Gari), Stingo Danlami (Kajuru), Ali Kalat (Jema’a), Henry Mahra (Jaba), Kantiok Emmanuel (Zonkwa), and Kambai Samuel (Zango Kataf).
Governor Sani assured the new members of “equal participation within the party,” promising: “In the APC, every member counts. Together, we will continue advancing the interests of our people,” he said.
The rally was attended by high-ranking officials, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas; APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda; and Minister of Environment, Balarabe Abbas.
Governor Sani noted that this latest movement follows the recent defection of other prominent figures, such as former Governor Ramalan Yero and former Senators Shehu Sani, Danjuma Laah, and Suleiman Hunkuyi.
He described this trend as evidence of the APC’s “expanding influence in Kaduna,” adding, “Together, we will build a peaceful, inclusive, and progressive Kaduna State.”
