BREAKING NEWSPOLITICAL EARTHQUAKE IN ADAMAWA: HON. EMMANUEL STEPHEN JANGIRI DUMPS PDP FOR APC AS GANYE POWER SHIFT INTENSIFIES

Ganye, Adamawa State —
In a dramatic political development that has sent shockwaves through Adamawa State, Hon. Emmanuel Stephen Jangiri, the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) House of Assembly aspirant for Ganye Local Government Constituency in the 2023 general election, has officially defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), marking a significant turning point in the political fortunes of Ganye Local Government.
The high-profile defection, confirmed on Tuesday, is widely regarded as a major setback for the PDP and a strategic gain for the APC, which continues to record growing acceptance and momentum at the grassroots. Political observers say the move clearly reflects the deepening internal crisis rocking the PDP and the increasing confidence reposed in the APC by key political actors across the area.
Speaking after his defection, Hon. Jangiri attributed his decision to persistent internal divisions, lack of internal democracy, and unresolved leadership conflicts within the PDP, stressing that the party has drifted away from its founding ideals. He noted that the APC now offers a more credible, united, and development-driven platform to advance the aspirations of the people of Ganye.
“After extensive consultations with my supporters, elders, and stakeholders, I took this decision in the overall interest of my constituents. The APC represents stability, purposeful leadership, and a genuine commitment to grassroots development,” Hon. Jangiri said.
Leaders of the APC in Ganye Local Government welcomed Hon. Jangiri into the party, describing his defection as a major political boost that further strengthens the party’s structure and expanding influence. They expressed confidence that his entry would galvanize supporters and accelerate the party’s consolidation across wards in the local government.
This latest political shift adds to a growing wave of defections into the APC, reinforcing the perception that the ruling party is steadily taking control of Ganye Local Government’s political terrain, while the PDP struggles to contain internal dissent.
As the political dust settles, analysts agree on one point: the defection of Hon. Emmanuel Stephen Jangiri signals a decisive redrawing of political lines in Ganye, with the APC increasingly positioning itself as the dominant force in the local government ahead of future elections.
