APC stalwarts have dumped the party for PDP.
EKOHOTBLOG reports that no fewer than 15 stalwarts of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have dumped the party for Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) along with their supporters in Gombe State.
The decampees announced their defection at the PDP secretariat on Saturday.
Speaking, a former deputy governor of the state, Lazarus Yoriyo, said that he was not impressed with the happenings in the ruling APC, adding that he had seen it all.
EKOHOTBLOG reports that Yoriyo was a former deputy governor to former governor Danjuma Goje, who is now the Senator representing Gombe Central Senatorial District.
Yoriyo, who added that the PDP remains the best political party ever when compared to what obtains in APC, said, “I went to APC, and I have seen everything that happened there. However, what is happening there is not encouraging. PDP is the best place to ever be.
“I wish to appeal to thousands of our supporters to get their Permanent Voters Card ahead of 2023 elections,” the former deputy governor said.
Also speaking, the PDP Chairman in Gombe State, Maj. Gen. Abnor Kwaskebe, lauded the determination of the defectors to retrace their steps.
Kwaskebe added that the state would continue to remain a PDP state, adding that the party had intended to use the township stadium but was denied by authorities.
