Revealed! Why governors, senators, others are rushing to APC

Nasarawa State Governor,  Abdullahi Sule, says  governors, senators, and other high-profile politicians  are rushing to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) because of the wide-reaching reforms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Governor Sule made the statement on Monday in Lafia, the state capital, during a ceremony welcoming Senator Ahmed Wadada, who represents Nasarawa West Senatorial District, back into the APC from the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

Commending President Tinubu, Sule said the bold and transformative policies being implemented by the administration are drawing political leaders back into the ruling party.

“I want to specifically congratulate our President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It is because of the good and courageous reforms he is implementing that, every time the progressive governors meet, we are welcoming yet another governor into our party,” Sule stated.

He revealed that during a recent APC governors’ meeting in Kebbi State, new defections were already underway.

“While we were in Kebbi three days ago, we received Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State into the APC. Just this morning, as I returned, I received news of another governor joining us. They are not just coming to win elections—they are aligning with the vision and policies of Mr President,” he added.

Sule praised Senator Wadada for his strategic decision to return to the APC, describing it as a sign of political maturity and alignment with national progress.

“Distinguished Senator Wadada could have stayed in his party and continued to challenge us. But he chose to join us. I hereby present you with the APC broom, symbolising unity and renewal. Thank you for believing in our vision.”

The APC Chairman in Nasarawa State, Aliyu Bello, formally welcomed Senator Wadada and his team, assuring them of a level playing field within the party, especially as preparations begin for the 2027 general elections.

Bello affirmed that the party would support only credible and popular candidates going forward.

“Ahead of 2027, we are committed to presenting the most viable candidates at all levels. Under Governor Sule’s leadership, we’ve seen tremendous progress in security, education, and healthcare; factors that are drawing people into our fold,” he said.
