Former Sokoto State governorship candidate, Mallam Sa’idu Umar Ubandoma, has officially defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), ending his association with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in what observers describe as another notable political realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Ubandoma announced his decision after extensive consultations with his political associates, supporters, and other key stakeholders. He said the move was informed by his desire to identify with a political platform that aligns with his vision for effective leadership, sustainable development, and improved governance in Sokoto State.

According to the former governorship candidate, joining the APC presents an opportunity to contribute more meaningfully to the state’s progress while supporting initiatives aimed at improving the welfare of the people. He expressed optimism that the party’s structure and leadership would provide the right environment to pursue policies that promote growth, unity, and inclusive development.

Leaders of the APC in Sokoto State welcomed Ubandoma into the party, describing his defection as a significant addition to their ranks. They expressed confidence that his political experience, grassroots support, and leadership qualities would strengthen the party’s position as preparations gradually gather momentum for future electoral contests.

Ubandoma’s defection adds to the growing wave of political movements and party realignments taking place across the country as politicians reposition themselves ahead of the next election cycle. Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
