No fewer than 573 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Sabuwar Dan Masara, Dutse Local Government Area in Jigawa State, have formally defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The mass defection ceremony took place on Friday, where the newcomers were received by top PDP officials.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Mustapha Adamu (Shugaba) explained that their decision was motivated by a shared desire for positive change:
“We can no longer continue to be part of a party that has abandoned the principles of fairness and justice.”
“We are convinced that the PDP is the party that truly cares about the welfare of Nigerians and will work tirelessly to address the challenges facing our state and country.”
He called on other dissatisfied APC members to follow their lead:
“We invite all like-minded individuals to join us in this journey towards a brighter future for our state and country. Together, we can achieve greatness.”
PDP’s deputy State chairman, Umar Danjani, welcomed the defectors, emphasizing their significance in strengthening the party’s position in the state:
“Today marks a significant milestone in our journey towards building a stronger, more united party.”
“We are thrilled to welcome our new members and look forward to working together towards a brighter future for our state.”
