ABUJA - A viral social media message claiming that five serving governors, 18 senators and several members of the House of Representatives are set to defect to the African Democratic Congress ADC has failed to stand up to verification, even as a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP confirms fresh moves to engage key opposition figures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The message, which circulated widely across WhatsApp and other social media platforms, listed Governors Seyi Makinde, Alex Otti, Ahmadu Fintiri, Bala Mohammed and the Zamfara State governor as part of the alleged defection.
