Abdulrahman Bashir Haske, a businessman and political figure in Adamawa, is reported to be preparing to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) ahead of the 2027 elections. Multiple reports say the move could trigger wider shifts in political support in the state.
Daily Post Nigeria and Legit.ng both frame the development as a potential challenge for APC in Adamawa, describing Haske as taking parts of his political following and structure to APM. Daily Post Nigeria cites confirmation from a close associate, Alhaji Hussaini Ahmadu Har, who discusses plans for Haske’s political organization to move with him. Legit.ng similarly highlights that Haske and supporters are preparing for mass defection.
The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: one stresses the loss of a “political heavyweight” and the scale of the structure being carried to APM, while the other highlights the prospect of mass political shifts. Both agree, however, on the core point that Haske is preparing to leave APC for APM before 2027.
