A close political associate of former Minister of Justice, Abubakar Chika Malami, Alhaji Faruku Udulu, has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State.
Udulu, a staunch ally of Malami, was captured in a video announcing his defection before Usman Sani Tungu and other APC stalwarts. Speaking during the event, he said: “We have had a long-standing relationship with Governor Nasir Idris, and he has been consistent in that relationship. This is why I am joining his team to move Kebbi State forward,” he declared to the cheers of supporters.
As the 2027 elections draw closer, the political atmosphere in Kebbi continues to heat up, with increasing cases of defections and alignments. Governor Idris is expected to rely on his record of generosity and the critical infrastructure projects executed within his first two years in office, while Malami, now in the opposition, may count on the strength of a coalition to challenge the ruling party.
