Senator Ireti Kingibe Joins ADC, Sparks Political Earthquake in FCT

In a move that has sent ripples through Nigeria’s political landscape, Senator Ireti Kingibe, the Labour Party’s Senator for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the National Assembly, has officially defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing the party’s growing strength and visionary outlook as key reasons for her decision.

The announcement was made at a high profile event at Merit House in Abuja, where party leaders, political stakeholders, and supporters gathered to welcome the senator into what many are now calling a “coalition of transformation.”

Speaking at the defection ceremony, Senator Kingibe described her decision as a strategic alignment with a party she believes is poised to redefine the political narrative in the FCT and beyond.

“I have chosen to join the African Democratic Congress because it is a giant in the making. In the FCT, ADC is not just present, it is strong, it is vibrant, and it is growing from strength to strength,” she declared to thunderous applause.

Kingibe, known for her grassroots engagement and legislative activism, emphasized that her move was driven by a desire to work with a platform that prioritizes people oriented governance and inclusive development.

Comrade Balarabe Rufai, the ADC Youth Leader, hailed the senator’s defection as a monumental gain for the party.

“We’ve caught a big fish in Senator Ireti Kingibe,” he said. “Her entrance into our fold consolidates the coalition we’ve been building. With the FCT council elections around the corner, ADC is ready to field candidates who will give the APC a run for its money.”

Rufai’s remarks reflect growing confidence within the ADC, which has been steadily expanding its influence in the capital and other key regions.

The Deputy Organising Secretary of the ADC, Alhaji Atiku Saleh, who formally presented the ADC Card to Senator Kingibe affirmed her entry into the party, describing the moment as “a turning point in the journey toward a new Nigeria.”

“ADC is one family,” Saleh said. “By God’s grace, come 2027, we will emerge victorious. Senator Kingibe’s decision to join us is a testament to our credibility and our capacity to tackle the challenges posed by the ruling All Progressives Congress and it's inability to fulfill it's promises to Nigerians"

Saleh also reaffirmed the party’s commitment to building a broad based coalition that reflects the aspirations of everyday Nigerians.

The event drew a host of influential figures, including former National Chairman, Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu who represented the National Chairman, Dr. Mani Ibrahim Mani who is the the National Treasurer and Hon. Hauwa Yusuf the Deputy National Secretary.

Others are, Princess Nneka Nebo, the Deputy National Auditor, Queen Okiyi, Deputy National Publicity Secretary New Media, Jackie Wayas, Deputy National Conventional Media and Hassana Dada, Assistant Zonal Youth Leader, North Central as well as Alhaji Musa Haliru Dujiman Adamawa all praised Kingibe’s courage and foresight. Their presence underscored the significance of the defection and the growing momentum behind the ADC’s political resurgence.

Senator Kingibe’s defection is widely seen as a strategic blow to the Labour Party and a potential game changer in the FCT’s political dynamics. With council elections looming and the 2027 general elections on the horizon, her move could galvanize support for the ADC and reshape electoral calculations in the capital.

Political analysts say the defection signals a broader realignment in Nigerian politics, where ideology, performance, and grassroots connection are beginning to outweigh party loyalty.

As the dust settles, one thing is clear, the African Democratic Congress is no longer on the sidelines. With Senator Ireti Kingibe now in its ranks, the party is stepping boldly into the spotlight and the race for 2027 has just taken a dramatic turn.

PRESS RELEASE.

Former Federal Lawmakers Disown Suit Against ADC — Describe Purported NFFL Leadership as Impostors, Warn Against Disrespect for Legislative Seniority and Tradition

We, the undersigned former members of the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, hereby issue this detailed rejoinder to fully dissociate ourselves from the lawsuit recently filed at the Federal High Court seeking the deregistration of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

We condemn, in the strongest terms, the attempt to use the name and reputation of former legislators to pursue a self-serving political agenda that we neither authorized nor support.

Over 5,000 Former Legislators Cannot Be Represented by a Small Group of Late Arrivals

Since 1999, Nigeria’s National Assembly has produced well over 5,000 former Senators and Honourable Members, cutting across:

The First to the Tenth Assemblies

All geopolitical zones

All political tendencies and parties

Several generations of parliamentary leadership

It is therefore absurd and insulting for a handful of individuals—many of whom are late arrivals to the legislature—to arrogate to themselves the right to speak for this large, diverse, and distinguished body.

The legislature is an institution built on seniority, hierarchy, parliamentary record, and long-standing tradition. Its culture recognizes experience, ranking, committee leadership, contributions on the floor, and years of national service. These conventions cannot be undermined by persons with no mandate, no legitimacy, and no historical grounding among parliamentary elders.

To suggest that a few self-appointed individuals represent thousands of former lawmakers is fraudulent, provocative, and unacceptable.
