JUST IN : ADC Rep defects to APC
A member representing Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency, in the House of Representatives, Idris Salman, on Tuesday, defected to the All Progressives Congress.
Salman, who was elected in the 2023 National Assembly election on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said he decided after consultation with his constituents to defect to the APC.
“I took this decision after wide-range consultation with members of my constituency,” the lawmaker said.
The announcement was made during a plenary session on Tuesday, where the letter of defection was read by the Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas.

Amid cheers from APC lawmakers, the Minority Whip of the House, Ali Isah, urged the Speaker to declare Salman’s seat vacant, urging him to seek the nomination of his new party if he wishes to return to the legislative chamber.
The call was ignored as the House Leader, Julius Ihonvbere, took him to shake hands with some APC lawmakers present at the plenary.
