Erelu Kemi Elebute-Hally, the Director General of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) for the Action Democratic Party (ADP), along with several national leaders from the defunct Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA), has officially merged their political structures into the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
During a meeting held at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja on Thursday, APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje welcomed the defectors and assured them of equal opportunities within the party.

He noted the significance of Elebute-Hally’s experience as a former gubernatorial candidate in Ekiti State, stating it would be invaluable to the party.
Elebute-Hally expressed that her decision to join the APC was motivated by a desire to support President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing reforms, which she acknowledged might be challenging in the short term but would ultimately yield positive results.
She emphasized that the decision to defect was a well-considered one, stating, “We have been deliberating on this matter for two years and officially defected on October 7 this year.”

She also highlighted that the defection encompassed not just members of the ADP, but also those from the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the PPA.
Additionally, Mohammed Inua Haruna, a former Deputy National Chairman of the PPA, mentioned that despite their national chairman’s previous defection to another party, the remaining national and state structures had empowered him to seek a suitable party for their continuation.
