BREAKING: ADC Rocked by Fresh Crisis In Ibarapa East As Leading House Of Assembly Aspirant, Saheed Ajetunmobi Defects To NDC

The political atmosphere in Ibarapa East Local Government has been thrown into uncertainty following the shocking defection of a leading House of Assembly aspirant, Saheed Ajetunmobi, from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The development, which has already generated intense reactions across the political landscape of the constituency, is being described by political observers as a major blow to the ADC structure in Ibarapa East ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Saheed Ajetunmobi, regarded as one of the most influential and visible political figures within the ADC in the constituency, officially dumped the party alongside his loyalists and supporters, declaring his new political alignment with the NDC.

Sources within the political circle disclosed that the defection may trigger further exits from the ADC, as several party faithful are reportedly dissatisfied with the internal affairs and weakening structure of the party in the area.

The latest political realignment has further strengthened speculations that the ADC in Ibarapa East may be heading toward total collapse if urgent reconciliation and rebuilding efforts are not immediately initiated.

Political analysts have noted that Ajetunmobi’s exit is not an ordinary defection but a strategic movement capable of reshaping the political calculations within the constituency.

Meanwhile, the NDC appears to be gaining fresh momentum and increasing acceptance across different wards in Ibarapa East, with many supporters describing the party as a growing force preparing to challenge dominant political interests in the next election cycle.

Supporters of the NDC have since celebrated the defection, expressing confidence that the arrival of Saheed Ajetunmobi would further boost the party’s grassroots mobilization, political visibility, and electoral chances in the constituency.

As reactions continue to trail the development, many residents and political stakeholders are closely watching to see whether the ADC can survive the growing internal crisis or if more high-profile defections will hit the party in the coming weeks.
