Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Kebbi State Government has declared the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, politically irrelevant following the defection of its three serving senators to the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Commissioner for Information and Culture, Yakubu Ahmed, said the mass defection of Senators Adamu Aliero, Garba Maidoki, and Yahaya Abdullahi marks the final collapse of the opposition in the state, which he attributed to Governor Nasir Idris\u2019s performance and leadership style since taking office in 2023.<\/p>\n
