JUST IN: PDP Loses Rep Member to APM Amid Internal Crisis

Abuja – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suffered another political setback following the defection of a member of the House of Representatives, Aliyu Misau, to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
Misau announced his decision to leave the PDP, citing the lingering leadership crisis and internal divisions within the opposition party as the primary reasons for his departure.
The lawmaker stated that the unresolved disputes within the PDP had weakened the party’s structure and affected its ability to effectively serve as a strong opposition force. He noted that his move to the APM was driven by the need to align with a platform that reflects his political aspirations and commitment to serving his constituents.
His defection adds to the growing list of lawmakers and political figures who have recently left the PDP amid concerns over internal disagreements and power struggles within the party.
Political observers say the latest development could further impact the PDP’s influence ahead of future elections, especially as rival parties continue to attract members from the opposition camp.
Meanwhile, party supporters have expressed mixed reactions, with some describing the move as a significant loss while others insist that the PDP remains strong despite the wave of defections.
The APM, on its part, welcomed Misau into its fold, describing his decision as a testament to the party’s growing appeal and commitment to providing credible political leadership.
As political realignments continue across the country, analysts believe the coming months may witness further defections as parties position themselves ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
The PDP leadership is yet to issue an official statement regarding Misau’s departure, but political stakeholders are closely monitoring developments within the party as efforts continue to address its internal challenges.
