Shifting allegiances: Former PDP leader defects to APC in Jigawa, bringing thousands of supporters

Audu Mahmood, the founding figure and ex-director-general of PDP New Generation, has switched allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC), along with a substantial following comprising thousands from Garun Gabas Ward and beyond in Mallam-Madori local government area of Jigawa State.

Previously serving as the PDP Youth Leader, Mahmood had a significant impact during the recent 2023 elections, being instrumental in rallying numerous youths nationwide to support the PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the broader PDP agenda.
