Three members of the House of Representatives on Wednesday formally dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), defecting to the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC), in what appears to be a fresh wave of political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The defections were announced during plenary, just a day after lawmakers resumed from the Eid-el-Kabir recess, further underscoring shifting loyalties within the National Assembly.
Rabilu Bala, who represents Jama’are/Itas-Gadau Federal Constituency of Bauchi State, announced his resignation from the APC and his decision to join the PRP.
