Aduda Storms APC Secretariat After Dumping PDP

Former senator who represented the Federal Capital Territory, Philip Aduda, on March 17, 2026, visited the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress in Abuja, where he held a private meeting with party leaders shortly after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party.

His visit came just hours after he announced his resignation from the PDP over internal challenges within the party.


At the APC secretariat, Aduda met with the party’s National Chairman, Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, alongside members of the National Working Committee. The meeting was held behind closed doors, with details of the discussion not made public.


He arrived at the venue accompanied by local government officials, including the chairman of Bwari Area Council, Joshua Ishakwu, and the chairman of Kuje Area Council, Danjuma Shekwolo. Their presence added to the attention surrounding his sudden movement to the ruling party’s headquarters.


Aduda’s appearance at the APC office has increased talks about his next political move, coming at a time when several politicians are changing party affiliations ahead of future elections. His resignation from the PDP and quick engagement with APC leaders point to possible realignment within the political space.


The development adds to ongoing shifts in party membership across the country, as politicians continue to reposition themselves within different political platforms.
