EKOHOTBLOG reports that no fewer than 4,000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) have dumped the parties for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Kwali Area Council of Abuja.
The FCT Minister of State, Dr Ramatu Aliyu, made the latest defection known via a statement by her Special Assistant on Media, Mr Austine Elemue, on Sunday.
The minister, while receiving the decampess, assured them of justice and fairness amongst members of the ruling APC just as she called on others who are yet to join to do so.
She further enjoined the decampees to use their political weight to ensure victory for the party in 2022 and beyond.

The minister appealed to both old and new members of the APC to work together in peace and be law abiding and emphasised on the supremacy of party decisions.
Aliyu said, “We received over 4,000 of our brothers and sisters who have decided on their own to join the ruling APC.
“They came from various political parties especially the major opposition parties, the PDP and APGA. We appreciate all of them.”
She, therefore, expressed confidence that the APC would win the entire six area councils and the 62 wards in FCT on February 12, 2022.
