An NDC deputy governorship candidate has formally abandoned the party to endorse an opposition APC candidate for the 2027 elections. The decision marks a significant shift in allegiance for the politician, who had previously been a key figure in the National Democratic Congress’s electoral strategy.
In a statement addressing the change, the candidate apologized to NDC supporters who may feel disappointed by the move. She acknowledged the potential impact of her decision on the party’s base while expressing gratitude for the confidence and support she received during her time within the organization.
The politician thanked her allies for their encouragement throughout her political engagement with the NDC, emphasizing that the decision was made after careful consideration. By backing an APC candidate, she has aligned herself with the ruling party’s platform for the upcoming electoral cycle.
This defection highlights the fluid nature of political alliances in Nigeria as the 2027 election horizon approaches. While the source material does not specify the exact state or the name of the APC candidate she is supporting, the move underscores the ongoing realignments occurring across the country’s political landscape.
