Ex-NNPP Zonal Spokesman Defects to PDP, Strengthening Party Ahead of Elections

A former Public Relations Officer of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the South-West, Badmus Kilamuwaye, has formally joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Naija News reports that Kilamuwaye announced his defection in a statement released on Monday, just weeks after he dumped the NNPP.

He described his decision to join the PDP as a “progressive alignment aimed at contributing meaningfully to Nigeria’s democratic growth,” insisting that the move was rooted in national interest, not personal gain.

Kilamuwaye said he arrived at the decision after what he called “deep reflection on the current political realities in Nigeria.”

According to him, the nation’s democracy requires a sturdier foundation built on inclusiveness and people-centred governance.

He said politics, for him, had always been about service. “Politics for me has always been about interest, service to humanity, and not sentiments,” Kilamuwaya noted.

He added that consultations with his supporters and mentors played a major role in shaping his choice.

Kilamuwaye described the PDP as a platform that offers genuine opportunities for young people to participate meaningfully in governance.

“After much consultation with my supporters and mentors, I have decided to join the Peoples Democratic Party, a platform that offers genuine opportunities for youth participation, inclusiveness, and national unity,” he said, stressing that while he cherished his time in the NNPP, Nigeria’s future required a broader structure capable of delivering real development.

“I am proud of my time with the NNPP. It was a period of learning and service. But for Nigeria to move forward, we must all align with platforms that have the structure, experience, and reach to deliver tangible progress to our people,” Kilamuwaye added.
