Mass Defection Hits APC as Members Flock to ADC in Sokoto

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has suffered a major setback in Sokoto as a large number of its members have defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This mass defection is seen as a significant blow to the ruling party, which has been struggling to maintain its grip on power in the state. The defectors, who are mostly from the Sokoto North and Sokoto South local government areas, cited lack of internal democracy and marginalization within the APC as the reasons for their decision to leave. They also expressed dissatisfaction with the party’s leadership, which they accused of being dictatorial and insensitive to their needs. The ADC, on the other hand, has been gaining popularity in recent times, thanks to its progressive ideology and commitment to good governance. The party’s leadership has been working tirelessly to build a strong grassroots presence, and the defection of APC members is a testament to its growing influence. The defectors were received by the ADC state chairman, Alhaji Umar Bunza, who welcomed them to the party and assured them of equal opportunities. He also praised their courage and conviction, saying that they have made the right decision by leaving the APC. The ADC has been making waves in Sokoto politics, with many seeing it as a viable alternative to the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The party’s message of hope and change has resonated with many voters, who are eager for a new direction. The mass defection is expected to have significant implications for the APC, which is already facing internal crises and power struggles. The party’s leadership will need to work hard to regain the trust of its members and prevent further defections. Meanwhile, the ADC is poised to benefit from the influx of new members, who will bring fresh ideas and perspectives to the party. The party’s national leadership has congratulated the Sokoto state chapter on the successful defection, saying that it is a sign of the party’s growing strength and popularity. The ADC has also called on other APC members who are dissatisfied with the party’s leadership to join its ranks, promising them a warm welcome and equal opportunities. As the 2023 general elections approach, the ADC is positioning itself as a major force in Sokoto politics, and the mass defection of APC members is a significant boost to its chances. The party’s commitment to good governance, transparency, and accountability has earned it a reputation as a credible alternative to the APC and PDP. The defectors have expressed confidence in the ADC’s ability to bring about positive change in Sokoto, and they are eager to contribute their quota to the party’s success. The ADC’s state chairman has assured them that they will be given equal opportunities to participate in the party’s activities and contribute to its growth. The party’s national leadership has also pledged to support the Sokoto state chapter in its efforts to build a strong and vibrant party. As the political landscape in Sokoto continues to evolve, one thing is clear: the ADC is a force to be reckoned with, and its influence will be felt in the 2023 general elections. The party’s message of hope and change has resonated with many voters, who are eager for a new direction. The mass defection of APC members is a significant boost to the ADC’s chances, and the party is poised to make a major impact in Sokoto politics.
