Former Kwara State Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Abubakar Kabir Basambo, has reportedly joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) following his departure from the opposition party.
Basambo’s defection comes amid growing political realignments in Kwara State as political parties and their supporters position themselves ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The former ADC spokesman had announced his resignation in October, citing what he described as hypocrisy and dishonesty among some party leaders.
His exit also triggered a disagreement between him and the Kwara ADC leadership, with the party reportedly alleging that he resigned to avoid possible disciplinary action.
The development adds to the shifting political landscape in Kwara, where parties are working to strengthen their structures and attract influential members ahead of the next electoral cycle.
Basambo’s move to the APC could generate further discussion about the direction of the ADC in the state and the implications of defections for the opposition’s preparations for 2027.
