Barring any last – minute change, a former Governor of Kogi state, Captain Idris Ichalla Wada, is expected to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) alongside other notable leaders and members of opposition parties in the state.
An invitation message sent to critical stakeholders of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state by the State Party Chairman Hon. Abdullahi Bello, and sighted by our news team, reads; “You are specially invited to attend a crucial Decamping ceremony for His Excellency Capt Idris Ichalla Wada former Governor of Kogi State and other notable members of various opposition political parties into the fold of All Progressives Congress (APC).”
Captain Wada is billed to formally join APC on Monday, 17th November, 2025 at the Muhammadu Buhari Square, Lokoja.
Through divine providence, Capt Idris Ichalla Wada rose from being a commercial pilot to becoming the Governor of Kogi State (2011 – 2015) under the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP). His time in office as Governor of the state was characterized with relative peace; a major requirement for sustainable growth and development.
Stemming from his immerse wealth of experience from both the public and private sectors, the decamping of Capt. Idris Ichalla Wada from the PDP to the APC is expected to strengthen the already existing leadership structure of the APC in the state.
