Joshua Chinedu Obika, a member of the House of Representatives representing the AMAC/Bwari Federal Constituency in the Federal Capital Territory, has made a significant political switch. He has officially resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and pledged allegiance to the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC).
This move comes just two months after the legislator defected from the Labour Party (LP) to the APC. Despite his earlier shift to the ruling party on March 11, 2026, Obika was denied the opportunity to seek re-election on the APC platform.
With his latest defection to the NDC, Obika is expected to receive an automatic ticket to contest for a second term in the lower chamber of the National Assembly. The wave of defections follows the recent decision of prominent political figures Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso to join the NDC on Sunday.
DAILY POST reports that multiple lawmakers have been leaving their former parties for the NDC, signaling a growing political realignment ahead of upcoming elections.
