Former Accord Candidate Nurudeen Faozey Defects to APC, Cites Support for Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope’
In a move that reshapes the local political landscape, Engr. Faozey Nurudeen, the former Senatorial candidate for the Accord Party in the 2023 general elections, has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The high-profile defection marks a significant pivot for the engineer-turned-politician, who briefly moved to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) following the conclusion of the last election cycle.
Speaking on the transition, Engr. Faozey disclosed that the decision was far from impulsive. He characterized the move as a strategic realignment aimed at centering his political weight behind the federal government's current direction.
"This was a decision reached after deep reflection and extensive consultations with my political associates, stakeholders, and loyal supporters across the various constituencies," Faozey stated. "The goal has always been the progress of our people, and I believe that progress is currently best championed through the APC."
Engr. Faozey has maintained a robust following since the 2023 elections, particularly among voters who value his technical background and "people-first" approach to governance.
By integrating his network into the APC, he strengthens the party’s reach as it seeks to solidify support for the President’s economic and social reforms.
Supporters have already begun celebrating the move, viewing it as a homecoming that bridges the gap between technocracy and mainstream partisan politics.
