    APC Denies Rumours of Abdullahi Adamu’s Defection to ADC

    The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State has dismissed as false and misleading reports circulating on social media alleging that a former National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

    The denial was contained in a statement issued on Thursday in Lafia by Hassan Abubakar, the party’s State Organising Secretary and Coordinator of the APC e-membership registration exercise.

    Abubakar described the reports as baseless propaganda deliberately designed to mislead the public and create confusion within the party.

    According to the statement, Senator Adamu, a former governor of Nasarawa State, remains a committed and card-carrying member of the APC.

    “For the avoidance of doubt, Senator Abdullahi Adamu has at no time defected, contemplated defection, or associated himself with any other political party,” the statement said.

    Abubakar explained that the photograph being circulated online as evidence of the alleged defection was taken during the ongoing APC e-membership registration and revalidation exercise — a nationwide initiative aimed at strengthening the party’s database and internal democracy.

    He noted that the image clearly showed Senator Adamu revalidating his APC membership in line with the party’s constitutional processes and reform agenda.

    The APC described the attempt by unnamed individuals to misrepresent a legitimate party activity as a defection as irresponsible and politically desperate, adding that it amounted to deliberate misinformation.

    The statement further stressed that Senator Adamu’s loyalty to the APC, as well as his contributions to the party’s growth and stability, remained well documented and unquestionable.

    The party urged its members, the media, and the general public to disregard the claims and rely only on verified information from credible sources.

    It reaffirmed that the APC in Nasarawa State and across the country remains united and focused on advancing progressive governance.
