A new wave of defections has hit the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) following the resignation of the son of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai from the party.
The development comes amid growing political realignments across the country, with several politicians reassessing their positions ahead of future electoral contests. Political observers say the latest exits could signal deeper divisions within the APC and intensify conversations around party loyalty and internal democracy.
In a related move, three members of the House of Representatives also announced their departure from the APC, choosing to align with other political parties. Their defections add to the growing list of lawmakers switching platforms in recent months as alliances continue to shift within Nigeria’s political landscape.
The exits are expected to generate fresh debate within the ruling party, especially as key stakeholders work to maintain unity and strengthen the APC’s influence across the states and the National Assembly.
