The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially welcomed the Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) into its fold.
InfoStride News reports that the lawmaker formally joined the ADC on Thursday after collecting her membership card in Abuja.
Reacting to the development, the party, in a statement issued on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, said more defections are expected in the coming days.
The ADC commended the senator for what it described as her courage and integrity in choosing the party, noting that it would have been easier for her to align with the ruling party.
“The African Democratic Congress warmly welcomes the Senator representing Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, Senator Ireti Kingibe, to the ADC,” the statement read.
“Senator Kingibe’s decision speaks to her courage and integrity at a time when it would have been easier to join the gravy train.
“Nigerians should stay tuned to their political screens. More to follow in the coming days. Na small e remain,” the party added.
The ADC described the defection as a significant boost to its growing profile ahead of future political engagements.
