The Jigawa State chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) has accused some top figures within the All Progressives Congress (APC) of sponsoring defections and undermining the party’s grassroots strength ahead of the 2027 elections.
The ALGON Secretary in Jigawa and Chairman of Garki Local Government, Adamu Hudu, made the allegation while reacting to recent political developments in the state.
He said some party leaders, despite holding key positions at the federal level, are engaging in anti-party activities that weaken the APC structure at the grassroots.
According to him, some of these individuals failed to deliver their wards during recent by-elections in Garki and Babura Federal Constituency, raising concerns about their loyalty and political relevance.
Adamu Hudu warned that the party would not hesitate to take disciplinary action against anyone found sabotaging its efforts, stressing that unity remains critical to maintaining the APC’s dominance in Jigawa.

He dismissed the impact of recent political realignments, insisting that opposition platforms, including the African Democratic Congress, do not pose a serious threat to the ruling party.
He described the ADC as politically weak, adding that most of its members are defectors from other parties who often move after losing primary elections.
The ALGON Secretary maintained that the APC has not lost any significant member in the state and remains firmly in control at the grassroots.
He added that neither the ADC nor any opposition group has the capacity to challenge Bola Ahmed Tinubu or Umar Namadi at the polling units.
He further assured that Jigawa’s over two million votes remain intact for President Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
With political activities gradually building up towards 2027, analysts say internal cohesion within parties will be key to electoral success.
