Ebonyi State Commissioner Felix Igboke resigns from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and defects to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 general elections, according to multiple Nigerian outlets. The reports say Igboke makes the move official during a PDP gathering in Isu, Onicha Local Government Area, attended by PDP leaders, party executives and supporters. Premium Times and Punch both state that Igboke brings “more than 10,000” supporters to the PDP, describing the defection as a boost to the party’s election prospects. Vanguard also reports the development and cites Igboke’s stated reasons for the decision, saying he aligns with a political platform he believes will advance the interests of the people and support inclusive development in the state. All three sources present the same core facts: his resignation from APC, his joining PDP, and the claim of significant supporter turnout associated with the defection. The outlets do not provide details on any specific policy dispute or legal challenge in connection with the switch.
