Senator Sunday Marshall Katung has officially left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and moved to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State. His defection has attracted attention across the political scene, especially as he is one of the strong figures of the PDP in the state. Katung announced that his decision was based on political realities and the need to align with a new direction.

Explaining his move, Katung said he joined the APC to support development plans and contribute to a stronger political structure in Kaduna. He noted that politics is about growth and service to the people, adding that he believes the APC provides a better platform at this time. His statement reflects a growing trend of key politicians switching parties ahead of political realignments.

Members of the PDP in Kaduna reacted with disappointment, saying Katung’s exit is a major loss. Some party officials expressed surprise but maintained that the PDP remains strong and will continue to move forward. They added that party loyalty is important and hoped that future members would stay committed to the party’s goals.

On the APC side, party leaders welcomed Katung warmly, describing his entry as a big win. They praised his experience and leadership, saying his presence will add value to the ruling party. APC supporters also expressed excitement, seeing his move as a sign of growing support for the party in Kaduna State.

Senator Katung encouraged his supporters to stay calm and follow his new political direction. He promised to keep serving the people and work towards peace and development in Kaduna. With this political shift, analysts believe the state may witness more alignments as the political season continues to unfold.
