Meanwhile, Kabiru Amadu, popularly known as Maipalace, who represents Gusau/Tsafe federal constituency in Zamfara state, alongside Emeka Chinedu (Ahiazu Mbaise/Ezinihitte federal constituency, Imo), also defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.
The lawmakers attributed their decisions to ongoing internal crises within their former parties.
In recent weeks, the ADC has continued to attract more legislators as political alignments shift ahead of the 2027 elections.
Similarly, on Tuesday, Thaddeus Attah (Eti-Osa federal constituency, Lagos), Usman Zubairu (Birnin Gwari/Giwa federal constituency, Kaduna), and Sani Noma (Argungu/Augie federal constituency, Kebbi) also dumped the Labour Party and the APC to join the ADC.
