Statement clarifies Adamu’s political status
The clarification was contained in a statement issued on Thursday, January 8, in Lafia by the APC State Organising Secretary and Coordinator of the party’s e-membership registration exercise, Hassan Abubakar.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, at no time, defected, contemplated defection, or associated himself with any other political party,” the statement said.
Photograph linked to membership revalidation
Abubakar explained that the photograph being circulated online as evidence of the alleged defection was taken during the APC’s ongoing e-membership registration and revalidation exercise, The Cable reported.
According to him, the nationwide programme is designed to strengthen the party’s membership database and promote internal democracy.
“The image clearly shows Senator Abdullahi Adamu revalidating his APC membership in line with the party’s constitutional processes and reform agenda,” he said.
Party condemns alleged misinformation
The Nasarawa APC described attempts by unnamed individuals to portray a legitimate party activity as a defection as irresponsible and politically motivated.
The party added that such actions amounted to deliberate misinformation aimed at confusing party members and the general public ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Loyalty to APC reaffirmed
According to the statement, Senator Adamu’s loyalty and long-standing contributions to the growth and stability of the APC are well documented and remain unquestionable, Vanguard reported.

Kwankwaso drops bombshell about APC
Previously, Legit.ng reported that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement and former governor of Kano state, has delivered a stinging warning ahead of the 2027 general election.
Specifically, the former Kano governor declared that betrayal in politics carries heavy consequences and insisting that he has “no price tag”. Speaking against the backdrop of shifting political alliances and growing public dissatisfaction, Kwankwaso criticised what he described as a culture of betrayal and inducement, taking an apparent swipe at the All Progressives Congress (APC) over governance failures, particularly insecurity and economic hardship.
He added that if his motivation were financial, he would have placed a value on himself long ago, stressing that no one could approach him with the intention of buying his loyalty.
