In a significant political shift, Dr. Samuel Tsebe, a member of the Nasarawa State Independent Electoral Commission (NASIEC), has announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP). This move comes as Tsebe seeks to further his political ambitions and contribute to the development of his community and nation.

Tsebe, who previously served as a member representing Akwanga South Constituency in the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, made the announcement on Monday in Akwanga. He stated that he has officially communicated his resignation to the APC Chairman of his ward, Akwanga West Electoral Ward. In his resignation, Tsebe emphasized that his decision was based on personal grounds and a desire to pursue new opportunities within the political landscape.

Expressing gratitude for his time with the APC, Tsebe acknowledged the party's leadership for the roles he held during his membership. He noted that his tenure provided him with valuable experience and insights into governance and public service.

As he transitions to the SDP, Tsebe has called on supporters to rally behind the party as it prepares for the upcoming 2027 general elections. His move is seen as a strategic step to align with a platform that he believes will better facilitate his aspirations and allow him to serve his constituents more effectively.

The SDP has been positioning itself as a viable alternative in Nigerian politics, and Tsebe's defection may bolster its ranks ahead of the elections. His commitment to advancing the interests of his community and the nation at large remains a key focus as he embarks on this new political journey.
