Yakubu Murtala Ajaka

In a stunning development that is set to reshape the political landscape of Kogi State, Yakubu Murtala Ajaka, one of the most formidable political figures, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

The announcement which broke earlier on Saturday July 12, marks a significant shift ahead of the next electoral cycle, signaling what many analysts are calling a political realignment of power in the state.

Ajaka, a well-known grassroots mobilizer and influential voice in Kogi political weight and a strong support base to the ADC. His move is already generating excitement among party faithful and supporters across the state.

Source close to former gubernatorial canidate suggest that Ajaka’s defection is driven by a desire to align with a party that prioritizes transparency, inclusiveness, and true democratic values.

Party leaders have welcomed Ajaka’s entry into ADC, with enthusiasm, describing it as a bold step that will invigorate the party’s structure and readiness for the 2027 general elections.

Political observers say this defection could trigger a wave of similar moves by key stakeholders who have grown disillusioned with the current policy establishment in the state.
