Cesnabmihilo Nuhu-Aken’ova, a former presidential aspirant of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has announced her defection from the party to the All Progressives Congress (APC). At a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Nuhu-Aken’ova pledged to work for the presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu, whom she believes is the right man to be Nigeria’s next president.
Nuhu-Aken’ova called on the electorate to endorse and vote for Tinubu in the upcoming presidential election, citing his exceptional qualities and capabilities. She praised Tinubu’s ability to build men and utilize resources, and described him as an outstanding candidate who would lead Nigeria to greatness.
Nuhu-Aken’ova’s endorsement of Tinubu is a significant boost for the APC as the party seeks to consolidate its support base ahead of the 2023 presidential election. Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State and national leader of the APC, is widely regarded as one of the front-runners in the race for the presidency.
Nuhu-Aken’ova’s decision to defect from the SDP is also a blow to the party’s aspirations for the presidency. The SDP, which was founded in 2017, has struggled to gain traction in the Nigerian political landscape, and the loss of a high-profile member like Nuhu-Aken’ova is likely to hurt the party’s electoral chances.
Overall, Nuhu-Aken’ova’s defection to the APC and endorsement of Tinubu is a significant development in the run-up to the 2023 presidential election, and it will be interesting to see how it impacts the political landscape in the coming months.
