Salihu Lukman, a senior member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has stated that the defection of prominent members of opposition parties to the ruling party indicates the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, is on the verge of victory.
Lukman claimed that the defection of the Labour Party’s Jigawa governorship candidate and serving commissioners in the PDP government of Sokoto State would benefit the APC.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, the APC’s National Vice Chairman (North-West) further stated that the reunion of disgruntled APC stakeholders heralds Tinubu’s predicted win.

Lukman praised the North West party leaders and candidates for putting aside their differences and working together to ensure Tinubu’s success.
He also applauded the APC for using rallies to unite the seven North-West states of Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, and Kebbi.
While emphasizing the significance of the seven states, Lukman stated that any presidential contender who wins the North-West is always elected President.
He said, “The ability of our party leaders to reconcile and forge a united front in the North-West Zone is largely responsible for all the successful rallies in all the seven states. We also wish to acknowledge the successful campaign rallies and activities of all our candidates.
“We also believe in the large defection of political leaders from other opposition parties to the APC, including the Jigawa governorship candidate of the Labour Party and serving commissioners in the PDP government of Sokoto State.

“All these signposts of victory for the APC in the North-West for our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in the presidential election of February 25 and all our candidates for National Assembly. It also signposts victory in the governorship and state Assembly elections in all the seven states of North-West. We are very confident that with Allah’s blessing all the seven states of North-West, including Sokoto State, will be APC states as from May 29.
