House of Representatives member representing AMAC/Bwari Federal Constituency in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Joshua Chinedu Obika, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and defected to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), just months after joining the ruling party from the Labour Party (LP).

Obika’s latest political move comes barely two months after he defected to the APC on March 11, 2026, a move that was reportedly aimed at securing a return ticket for the 2027 elections.

However, his bid to secure the party’s nomination was unsuccessful, as he was denied the APC ticket to contest for a second term in the House of Representatives.

Following the development, Obika has now aligned with the NDC, where he is expected to receive an automatic ticket to contest for re-election.

Political observers say the move underscores the growing realignments ahead of the next general elections, as politicians reposition across party lines in search of viable platforms for their ambitions.

The development adds to the increasing wave of defections shaping Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 election cycle.
