    Ex-APC chairman in Nasarawa decamps to ADC with over 5,000 supporters

    A former chairman of the Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Akala Samuel Gajere, has dumped the party, and moved to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), with over 5,000 of his supporters.

    Akala’s movement was made known in his letter of resignation, which was submitted to the APC Panda/Karu ward in Karu Local Government, and dated August 22, 2025.

    He thanked the APC, and indicated his decision to formally resign his membership of the party.

    “I write to formally tender my membership resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC), effective immediately. While I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the party for giving me the platform to serve in various capacities, I enjoin the leadership of the party to strive to strengthen the party’s internal democratic mechanism to give all its members some sense of belonging. Akala and his group, ‘Munatare’ (meaning ‘we are together’), with over 5,000 supporters, have defected from the APC to the ADC in the state,” he said.

    The recent defections in the ruling APC in the state, internal wrangling and the crisis rocking the party’s leadership ahead of 2027, if not quickly remedied, might create chances for opposition to thrive in the state.
