Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, who represents Nasarawa West, has officially rejoined the All Progressives Congress (APC), bringing an end to his brief stint with the Social Democratic Party (SDP). The senator formally notified the APC local leadership of his return via a signed letter delivered to the party’s ward chairman in Keffi, citing a desire to contribute to the growth and success of his childhood political home.
Wadada’s move marks a significant homecoming—not only does it reunite him with a party he helped shape, but it also positions the APC for a strategic boost ahead of the 2027 gubernatorial race. As a respected grassroots figure with wide appeal, his defection is expected to infuse the party’s structure in Nasarawa State with renewed energy and legitimacy.
Observers see the return as both symbolic and practical. Wadada previously delivered a stunning victory under the SDP banner in 2023, triumphing over APC candidates in the heart of Nasarawa political stronghold. His popularity and independent political brand now align with a reunited party—potentially setting the stage for a powerful campaign, especially if he intends to vie for the governorship next cycle.
The timing of Wadada’s return has also triggered a wave of discussions among APC members across the state. Young activists and party stalwarts alike have welcomed the development, suggesting it could cement unity within the party, galvanize support, and neutralize factional tensions as the APC prepares for future electoral contests.
With the endorsement of local leaders and an undeniable public following, Senator Wadada’s homecoming may prove to be a defining moment in Nasarawa’s political landscape—one that reaffirms his influence and positions the APC for a stronger showing in 2027.
