Former Governor of Kebbi State and Senator representing Kebbi Central, Muhammad Adamu Aliero, has officially revalidated his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) following his recent defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The revalidation ceremony, which took place on Tuesday at Aliero S. Fada Ward in Aliero Local Government Area, attracted a large turnout of party supporters and stakeholders who welcomed the Senator's return to the ruling party.

Political analysts view Aliero's return as a significant boost to the APC's political strength in Kebbi State ahead of the 2027 general elections, potentially weakening opposition forces in the state.

Renewed Commitment to APC Leadership

Speaking after completing his registration, Senator Aliero pledged his loyalty to the APC leadership at both national and state levels.

"I remain firmly committed to the progressive vision of the APC and the leadership of President Tinubu and Governor Idris," Aliero stated. "This is not just a registration; it is a renewed pledge to serve the people, promote inclusivity within our party, and strengthen our democratic institutions."

The Senator's revalidation comes at a time when the APC appears to be consolidating its position in various states, with recent reports of defections from opposition parties including the PDP and Labour Party to the ruling APC.

Implications for Kebbi Politics

As a former governor and current senator representing Kebbi Central, Aliero's political influence in the state remains significant. His return to the APC is expected to reshape political alignments in Kebbi ahead of the 2027 elections.

With the opposition reportedly weakened and the APC strengthening its base, political observers suggest that Kebbi State is positioning for what could be a decisive electoral contest in 2027.

The development adds to a growing trend of political realignments across Nigeria as parties begin early preparations for the next general election cycle.
