APC receives 3,500 defectors from PDP, NNPP in Yobe

The All progressives Congress (APC) in Yobe has on Thursday received over 3,500 members of the people’s Democratic Party (PDP) and New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) who decamped to the party APC.

Receiving the decampees in Damaturu, the state chairman of APC, Alhaji Mohammed Gadaka, said the defectors would be accorded equal rights with the old members as APC believes in one united Nigeria unlike PDP and NNPP.

The APC party chairman assured them that APC would carry them along in all party activities.

Gadaka also called on the other people who are willing to decamp to do so, as it is a known fact that Yobe is an APC state.

He further said that no any party can stand the chance to beat APC in elections any time, adding that the state government is aligning with the hopes and aspirations of the masses.

He congratulated the new members and advised them to rally round the manifesto, policies and programmes of the present administration in the state.

Notable among the defectors are Alh. Umar Ali, the 2023 governorship aspirant of NNPP, Hajiya Tasallah Mai Jama’a, PDP coordinator Yobe North Senatorial Districts as well as Goni Abdullahi Baban Gomna of NNPP from Nguru.

Other decampees include candidate for the house of representatives for Bade, Jakusko federal constituency under NNPP among others.
