Senator Sunday Marshall Katung dumps PDP for APC in Kaduna
The Sensor representing Southern Senatorial district, Mr Sunday Marshall Katung will on Saturday, November 1, 2025, officially defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The official defection will signal the end of 25 years of the zone’s loyalty to the main opposition party in the area.
Newspot gathered that Katung’s decision followed weeks of intensive consultations with key APC figures in Kaduna and Abuja, including Governor Uba Sani and members of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s inner circle.
It is no longer about party labels but aligning with the new political reality in Kaduna State, analysts say.
Barely about two weeks ago, the Senator had dismissed reports of his defection as mere speculation, insisting that he remained a committed PDP member, while his media office at the time urged the public to disregard “unfounded rumours” and described them as distractions from his legislative duties.
