Plateau, just like other states in the North-Central and North-West, has been under attack by non-state actors recently.

The PDP is divided into two factions.

Kwankwaso’s planned defection followed weeks of intense consultations with leaders of the Kwankwasiyya movement and top figures within the ADC.

The development follows Sunday’s attack on Angwan Rukuba, which the Plateau State Government said resulted in loss of lives and injuries.

The Abdulrahman Mohammed-led PDP has called on members to embrace inclusiveness as the party repositions itself for the 2027 elections.

Obi will slug it out with the likes of Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Rotimi Amaechi for the ADC presidential ticket.
