Top House of Representatives candidate Allegedly Collapses After APC Replaces Him With Another Aspirant

Reports circulating online indicate that Hon. Adamu Tanko Suleja reportedly collapsed following the decision of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to replace him with Abubakar Lado as the party’s candidate for the Suleja/Tafa/Gurara Federal Constituency ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to the reports, Hon. Adamu had emerged victorious in the APC primary election for the House of Representatives seat after defeating Hon. Abubakar Lado. However, in a surprising turn of events, the party reportedly substituted his candidacy with that of Lado.

Sources familiar with the development claim the sudden replacement came as a major shock to Hon. Adamu, who had celebrated his primary election victory and was preparing for the general election campaign. Reports further allege that he collapsed after learning of the party’s decision, although the exact circumstances surrounding his health condition remain unclear.

The APC has yet to issue an official statement explaining the reasons behind the reported substitution, while there has also been no official confirmation regarding Hon. Adamu’s reported collapse or his current medical condition.

The development has generated widespread reactions among party members, political observers, and constituents, with many questioning the circumstances surrounding the reported replacement and its potential implications for the APC’s fortunes in the Suleja/Tafa/Gurara Federal Constituency.

As of the time of filing this report, the claims remain based on circulating reports, and further official clarification is expected from the party and those directly involved.
