Confusion is brewing in the Kebbi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) following rumours that Governor Nasiru Idris may defect to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 elections.
A viral report listed Idris among five APC governors allegedly plotting to join forces with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to challenge President Bola Tinubu. The state government’s prolonged silence has further fueled speculations.
Amid rising anxiety, APC Chairman Muhammad Zuru urged members to remain loyal and avoid aligning with emerging parties. Kebbi’s strong PDP presence and the governor’s narrow 2023 election win have intensified fears of an impending political shift.
Meanwhile, discussions about Attorney General Abubakar Malami as a potential 2027 APC candidate are gaining traction as internal cracks deepen.
