Three serving senators from Kebbi State, elected on the platform of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have formally declared their intention to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) following a meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.
The lawmakers, Senator Adamu Aliero (Kebbi Central), Senator Yahaya Abubakar Abdullahi (Kebbi North), and Senator Garba Maidoki (Kebbi South) were led to the meeting on Friday by the National Chairman of the APC, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje.
The high-profile defection is seen as a major political development in Kebbi State and comes amid ongoing realignments within the national political landscape.

Also present at the meeting were the Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Nasir Idris; Sokoto State Governor, Ahmad Aliyu; and the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu.
The defection of the three senators is expected to bolster the APC’s influence in Kebbi State and the National Assembly ahead of future legislative and executive initiatives.
