The ruling APC has lost two members in the Gombe state House of Assembly to the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) Hamza Adamu and Bappah Usman Jurara announced their defection from the APC to the opposition party on Saturday, December 10 The lawmakers representing Balanga South and Funakaye South respectively revealed why they took the decision to defect to the NNPP

Gombe state - Two serving lawmakers in Gombe state, Hamza Adamu and Bappah Usman Jurara, have defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) ahead of the 2023 general election. The two members of the Gombe State House of Assembly announced their defection on Saturday, December 10.

The two decamped to the NNPP after meeting with the party’s gubernatorial candidate, Khamisu Ahmed Mailantarki.

According to Daily Trust, their defection was announced barely hours before the flagging off of the 2023 election campaign slated for Saturday by Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya. The newspaper further noted that the defection made the NNPP the second major opposition in the state, as they now have serving members as legislators in the state House of Assembly. Why we joined NNPP - Adamu, Jurara reveal Speaking with newsmen, the two lawmakers said they joined the NNPP in the best interest of the state. According to them, both APC and PDP do not have the requisite leadership qualities to unite and develop the state. It was gathered that since the emergence of Mailantarki as the NNPP's gubernatorial candidate, aggrieved members from both APC and PDP have been moving to the party.

Candidates are only as good as the people who vote for them let them be or make them be.

No such thing as a perfect candidate.

MrCGPA:
Even the Devil knows that APC is a National Disaster. PDPs were Corrupt but people never suffered like this. Unfortunately the Dreadful APC is fronting a Boastful grandfather who thought Nigeria in Entirety is like Lagos State he Control like a remote. By January ending he will Understand why even the Holly Bible Said Fear North(Not). Tinubu can never be President of Federal Republic of Nigeria in his Current state of Health.
