Three members of Nigeria’s House of Representatives formally leave the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and join the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC), according to multiple reports. The defections occur shortly after the National Assembly resumes plenary following a Sallah recess, and they add to a pattern of political realignments seen in recent months.
The outlets report that the lawmakers announce their departure in a new move that reflects shifting party affiliations ahead of the 2027 general elections. One report says the APC loses two representatives, while another indicates a total of three MPs defect, with departures split between PRP and ADC.
While the articles focus on the act of changing parties, they do not provide details in the excerpts reviewed on the lawmakers’ reasons for leaving, the exact seats they represent, or whether additional members are expected to follow. The reports collectively present the defections as part of a broader, ongoing reshuffling in legislative politics ahead of the next electoral cycle.
