Officials in Nigeria’s Adamawa State leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC), with multiple reports saying resignations began late on Monday and became public on Tuesday.
Across the outlets, the defections involve local government chairmen and councillors who were originally elected on the PDP platform. Legit.ng specifies that all 21 local government chairmen and 226 councillors defect, and links the stated reasons to loyalty to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri and a “progressive vision.” Premium Times and Daily Post also describe the same type of political shift, noting that resignation letters circulate on social media as residents become aware of the changes.
While the reporting largely agrees on the scale and timing of the switch, the emphasis differs: some focus on the number of officials and the election context, while others foreground how the resignations are being made visible (through letters posted online).
