Apc and the new pdp members
You're referring to the recent developments in Nigerian politics!
APC stands for All Progressives Congress, which is one of the two major political parties in Nigeria. The PDP, on the other hand, stands for People's Democratic Party, the other major party.
Recently, some prominent members of the PDP have defected to the APC, causing quite a stir in the political landscape. Here are a few notable examples:
- Senator Ibrahim Shekarau: A former Governor of Kano State and a prominent PDP member, Shekarau defected to the APC in June 2021.
- Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso: A former Governor of Kano State and a key figure in the PDP, Kwankwaso defected to the APC in July 2021.
- Senator Binta Garba: A former PDP Senator from Adamawa State, Garba defected to the APC in August 2021.
- Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi: A former PDP Senator from Kaduna State, Hunkuyi defected to the APC in September 2021.
These defections have been seen as a significant blow to the PDP, which has been struggling to regain its footing after losing the 2019 presidential election to the APC. The APC, on the other hand, has been seeking to consolidate its power and expand its reach across the country.
However, it's worth noting that the PDP has also gained some new members, including some former APC members who have defected to the party. The political landscape in Nigeria is constantly evolving, and it will be interesting to see how these developments play out in the coming months and years.
