SDP’s Vice Presidential, Governorship Candidates Defect To APC Ahead Of 2027 Elections
In a major political shift ahead of the 2027 general elections, the 2023 Vice Presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Engr. Yusuf Buhari, has officially defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Buhari was accompanied by SDP’s Kano State governorship candidate, Bala Mohammed Gwagwarwa, alongside key figures including the Kano State Working Committee members, 38 local government chairmen and secretaries, as well as 13 House of Assembly and six House of Representatives candidates.
Addressing the gathering, Jibrin described the move as a significant blow to any attempt to establish the SDP as a strong opposition party in the upcoming elections.
“Those who have been trying to woo people to SDP with the hope of challenging APC in the next elections should know that the idea is dead on arrival,” Jibrin stated. “Today, the Vice Presidential candidate, the Kano governorship candidate, and other key SDP figures have joined APC. The party is going to be empty.”
