Atiku Abubakar, former vice president and 2027 presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has dismissed allegations of financial crimes. The claims come amid growing political tensions as the All Progressives Congress (APC) and ADC intensify efforts to secure votes in Southern Kaduna ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In Gombe, a prominent ADC chieftain, Alhaji Mohammed Danjuma, known as Garkuwa Babba, has defected to the APC. This shift highlights the shifting alliances and internal dynamics within both parties. Meanwhile, APC stakeholders in Southern Kaduna have pledged to mobilize support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani.
The competition for voter support in the region underscores the high stakes of the upcoming elections. Both parties are leveraging local networks and resources to gain an advantage. The political landscape in Kaduna remains fluid, with key figures playing a crucial role in shaping the outcome.
The 2027 elections are expected to be a major test for both parties, with Southern Kaduna serving as a critical battleground. Political analysts suggest that the defection of influential figures could significantly impact the electoral balance in the region.
