The political grip of the APC in the North was strengthened with the recent defection of three governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and one from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
They include governors Agbu Kefas (Taraba State), Caleb Manasseh (Plateau State), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), and Abba Yusuf (Kano).
The PDP has been embroiled in an internal leadership crisis, a challenge that has led to division and the defection of some of its members, including National Assembly members, to other parties.
