Former Governor of Kogi State, Idris Wada, has officially become a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) after dumping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to reports, Wada received his APC membership card on Saturday at his country home in Odu, Dekina LGA of Kogi State. Wada’s media aide, David Alfred-Dogwo, stated that his defection will strengthen the APC’s stronghold in Dekina.

“The brief but significant ceremony marks Capt. Wada’s formal entry into the APC, signalling a new chapter in his political journey and reinforcing the party’s growing influence in Kogi East Senatorial District. The event was attended by APC leaders, supporters, and well-wishers from across the local government.

“Capt. Wada’s defection is expected to strengthen the APC’s foothold in Dekina and bolster its preparations ahead of future electoral contests in the state and that of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027,” Alfred-Dogwo said.
