Ten executive committee members of the opposition All Progressives Congress in Adamawa State have defected to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party.

The group said they defected in order to render support to the PDP governorship candidate, Nuhu Ribadu.

The defection was announced Tuesday at the Adamawa PDP Secretariat by Padio Phineas, the publicity secretary of the APC.

Among the defectors are Publicity Secretary, Mr. Padio; State Youth Leader, Usman Mohammed Danyaro; Assistant Secretary, ‎Maiyani Yunis; State woman leader, Hauwa Agwu; ‎Financial Secretary, Papka Medugu; Auditor‎, Musa Hero; Zonal women leader (South), Mercy Abraham; and Zonal Youth Leader (central), Abdu James.

Eight candidates are jostling for the Adamawa top job. They are Mohammed Bindow of the All Progressives Congress [APC], Nuhu Ribadu of the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP], Ahmad Modibbo of the Peoples Democratic Movement [PDM], and Marcus Gundiri of the Social Democratic Party [SDP].

The others are Amos Sunday of the Peoples Party of Nigeria [PPN], Na’ama Bulama of the Progressives Peoples Alliance [PPA], Abdulnasir Hamman of the Mega Progressives Peoples Party [MPPP], and Muhammad Malgwi of the National Conscience Party [NCP].

Mr. Ribadu is however considered the leading contender for the position although Messrs Bindow of APC, Modibbo of PDM and Gundiri of SDP are expected to give him a run for his money.

Fellow Nigerians, adamawa is in North East and not South South/South East. We keep telling the broom wavers that beyond their propaganda, the PDP has made(and still making) lots of in-road all over Nigeria. In 2007 Buhari won Adamawa(defeating Atiku) but in 2011, Jonathan defeated Buhari in Adamawa. Come Saturday, that same feat will be repeated and extended to more Northern States. The defeat of APC and Buhari will be epic.

APC is not on ground at all. They are only in the media and on twitter. Buhari will understand the whole thing after the election.

Good news everywhere since the Tele Ikuru gospel of transformation. Guess Atiku 'body' language is speaking here. God bless Nigeria.

Dey re welcome to d ruling party!

Who cares ?




Wheather good or bad we shall see the end of this drama called Nigerian politics.




The life of my brother n that of his colleagues defending our fatherland in the North east shall not be used for sacrifice.

You no serious o...but Sai GEJ

Who wan carry last?

No be small thing

I can assure you that many prominent APC people will still defect to PDP within the next 72 hours.

GEJ is destined to be in Aso Rock till 2019.

Nigeria's time to develop has arrived. No agents of backwardness and destruction can stop it. Everyone can attest to the infrastructural revolution ongoing across the nation, and in every sector. Roads, bridges, schools, rail-lines, seaports(Onicha), Almajiri schools, agricultural infrastructures, airports, just to name a few.

GEJ till 2019

When we tell them that Jonathan is a National and not a sectional project, they won't agree. Jonathan is loved everywhere...SE/SS, SW, NC, NE and a handful of NW electorates

All these PDP fans celebrating this defection. Presidential Election in The Northern State is a different ball game.

Just check out their reason for defection. Did you see any jonathan mentioned there?

They can vote their choice in other elections but General Buhari votes in the North knows no party. Just take it to the bank.

Who won Adamawa in 2011?

Did you predict Jonathan to win Adamawa in 2011 considering that Mr Buhari won it in 2007 and it is in the NE?

True talk brother. Just thinking of Kwakwanso coming back too. God bless Nigeria.

IF Kwankwaso defect na me go happy pass. I believe he is fit and qualified to takeover mantle from Jonathan in 2019 or Ibrahim Shekarau

Sule Lamido said at the interactive section between PDP governors and the media that "remove any two of us from here and this party will continue, but remove two leaders from APC and the party will collapse. PDP is a Nigerian party. It's the only party that has candidates for elective posts in every part of the country".

After GEJ has been declared winner, Buhari will travel
to Syria to join ISIS.

they know that the outcome of the presidential election will have great effect on governorship. So they can't go and work against pdp at presidential level to avoid loosing at governorship

Hahahahahahahahaha. APC never see anything!

This dollar show mustn't pass me by...Last minute decamping. If only PDP know their intentions. A back stab is imminent.

Nigerians here we go again......fresh air looming
