According to Anaedoonline.ng, a group of PDP defectors were greeted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) chapter in Kebbi State over the weekend.

Alhaji Yakubu Dala, a former PDP chairman of their council, led the decampers into the country’s ruling party, who are estimated to number 2,512. They came from the state’s Shanga Local Government Area.

According to reports, Dala was supported in his defection by all previous exco members, delegates, women, and youth leaders in the region.

“I assure you that we joined the APC in good faith.”

Alhaji Muhammad Kana Zuru, the Kebbi State APC Chairman, welcomed the decampees and promised them of their engagement in party matters.

He reminded the council members of some of Governor Bagudu’s local development achievements and exhorted them to contribute to the party’s grandeur as well.
