Hon Bello Isah Ambarura, Federal Representative for Gwadabawa/Illela Federal Constituency in Sokoto State, has defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Ambarura announced his decision to leave APC, citing reasons best known to him.
The lawmaker had been a member of APC since its inception but decided to join the opposition party, ADC, in a move that could impact the party’s fortunes in Sokoto State. Ambarura’s defection is seen as a significant loss for APC, given his influence in the area.
Ambarura’s decision to join ADC has sparked reactions from various quarters, with some seeing it as a boost for the opposition party. The lawmaker’s experience and influence could help strengthen ADC’s presence in Sokoto State.
Ambarura’s defection is the latest in a series of high-profile moves by politicians seeking new platforms to advance their careers. The development is likely to heat up the pre-election atmosphere in Sokoto State, with APC and ADC jostling for support.
