At least 17 members of the House of Representatives have left the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), in a major political shake-up at the National Assembly.
The defections were formally announced during plenary on Tuesday, drawing attention across the chamber as lawmakers confirmed their change of party affiliation.
In a related development, Leke Abejide also announced his departure from the ADC, this time joining the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The announcements mark one of the most significant movements within the House in recent times, as political realignments continue ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Further details are expected as proceedings continue.
