More than 6,000 members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Enugu State defect to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 general elections. Both reports say the defectors are led by Mr Godwin Obasi and are formally received by PDP leadership in Enugu on Saturday.
The outlets describe the development as a political setback for the NDC in the state. While the reports focus on the figures and the formal reception by PDP officials, they do not provide detailed, verifiable information in the excerpts about the specific reasons for the defection or the exact roles of the defectors within the NDC. Both accounts present the event as part of broader party realignment in the run-up to the 2027 elections, with Enugu serving as the immediate location of the reported shift in membership.
