Tension is mounting within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State following rumours that Governor Nasiru Idris may be planning to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speculation intensified after a viral report named Idris among five sitting APC governors allegedly considering joining forces with former Vice President and 2023 PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to challenge President Bola Tinubu in 2027. Despite the report circulating widely on social media, the Kebbi State government has remained silent for more than 48 hours, fueling further uncertainty.
