Former political aide Salihu Tanko Yakasai has left the All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He announced the move on his verified social media accounts, signaling a fresh political shift ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Yakasai served as Special Adviser on Media to former Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
However, his latest move suggests a change in political direction.
Although he did not give full details, his decision adds to the growing wave of defections across Nigeria.
Yakasai remains a well-known figure in Kano politics.
In 2023, he contested the governorship election under the People’s Redemption Party (PRP).
Therefore, his move to ADC marks another key step in his political journey.
Meanwhile, the African Democratic Congress continues to attract notable politicians.
Observers say the party is positioning itself as a strong coalition platform for the next election cycle.
As a result, more defections could follow in the coming months.
Yakasai’s exit from the APC has sparked fresh discussions.
Many analysts believe frequent party switching reflects deeper issues within political parties.
In addition, the trend highlights ongoing realignments within Nigeria’s opposition space.
As 2027 approaches, political movements like this may shape alliances and voter expectations.
For now, Yakasai’s defection underscores the shifting dynamics in Nigeria’s political landscape.
