15 Adamawa Lawmakers, Including Speaker, Join APC

The political composition of the Adamawa State House of Assembly has shifted after 15 lawmakers, including the Speaker, left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The defections were announced through a letter read on the floor of the Assembly during a preliminary sitting, according to TVC News. In the letter, the lawmakers cited the ongoing internal crisis within the PDP as the reason for their departure.

With the move, the APC now holds the majority in the Adamawa State House of Assembly, reshaping the state’s legislative dynamics.
