ADC capitalises on PDP misfortunes, APC cracksWhile the APC has mostly benefited from PDP defections, it has also suffered significant losses of its own. They are now working to reposition the ADC as a credible alternative, with Governor Sani as their primary political target. The PDP state secretary, Saidu Adamu, has also defected, further weakening the opposition. Governor Uba Sani has also met with APC stakeholders from Kaduna Zone Two, emphasising unity and discipline. Retired military officer and political analyst, Major Yahaya Shinko (rtd), said the ongoing defections and rivalries would significantly shape the 2027 elections.
