Former Minister, Deputy Governor, Yoriyo Defect To APC In Gombe by Ahmadgani(m): 6:11pm On Nov 27, 2016
Former Minister of Transport, Sen. Abdullahi Idris
and other Chieftains of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) in Gombe State have defected to the
All Progressives Congress (APC).




The News Agency of Nigeria [NAN] reports that
among the defectors were a former Deputy
Governor of the state, Mr Lazerus Yoriyo, ex-
House of Representative member, Alhaji Saidu
Alkali and a former PDP Youth Leader, Alhaji
Habu Mu’azu.



Idris said on Sunday in Dadin Kowa, during a
rally to receive them into the APC, that their
decision was to bring about positive development
to the state.



He assured that they would collaborate with
other APC leaders to contribute positively to the
success of the party in the state and across the
country.



The former transport minister urged officials of
the APC in the state to operate an open door
policy, so as to attract more entrants into the
party.




Malam Adamu Pata, the APC Zonal Vice
Chairman for Gombe Central, assured the
defectors that they would be treated as equal
stakeholders with those they met in the party.
According to him, their defection is a good omen
for the APC ahead of future elections in the
state.



Also, Kabiru Kukan-Daka, another party stalwart,
assured the former minister and other new
entrants of full support at all the times, adding
that the party would tap from their experiences
to advance its cause.


Kukan-Daka urged Nigerians to continue to pray
for the success of President Muhammadu Buhari
in the efforts to make Nigeria great and end
security challenges in the Northeast.


Alhaji Sule Makaniki, Chairman of APC in
Yamaltu/Deba Local Government Area, called on
party supporters to unite for the good of the
party.


He assured the defectors that the APC would not
discriminate against them nor prevent them from
aspiring for any position or making tangible
contributions to its growth.


NAN reports that Idris obtained his APC
membership card at Hinna Ward in Yamatu/Deba
LGA
