No fewer than 1,200 members of the Peoples
Democratic Party in Kaduna North Local
Government Area, Kaduna State, where Vice-
President Namadi Sambo hails from, on Tuesday
defected to the All Progressives Congress.
This came barely a week after a former Chairman
of the PDP in the state, Alhaji Yaro Makama, along
with some former PDP commissioners in the state
and 70 other party chiefs defected to the APC.
Makama, who led the defectors, had cited
injustice as one of the reasons for leaving the
PDP.
The new defectors were on Tuesday received by
the APC’s Interim Chairman in the state, Dr.
Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, at the party’s secretariat
on Ali Akilu Road in the Kaduna metropolis.
Baba-Ahmed, a former secretary of the
Independent National Electoral Commission, said
the defectors had asked for forgiveness for
stealing the party’s mandate in the previous
elections in the state.
“We have forgiven them and hope that together
we shall work to defeat PDP in the state come
2015,” Baba-Ahmed said.
He noted that if an unprecedented number of
party chiefs could quit the PDP in the Vice-
President’s local government area, it implied that
the PDP was dead in the state.
He described the defection as a political
revolution, assuring the defectors of equal
opportunity in the APC.
“As of today, the original APC members and the
defected PDP members are one and the same,”
he said.
Baba-Ahmed said the APC had been under
pressure to receive more defectors since when
the ex-PDP chairman, ex-commissioners and
others abandoned their old parties to join the
APC.
He said, “We have been placed under
tremendous pressure since the very day we
received 75 leaders of the PDP and we have
opened our doors to receive more and more PDP
people.
“This is the entire PDP leadership of the Kaduna
North Local Government Area in Kaduna State
that have decided to defect from the PDP to join
the APC. Let me remind you that Kaduna North
Local Government Area is the constituency of the
Vice President Namadi Sambo.
“Everybody that you see here is the root and the
branch of PDP in Kaduna North Local
Government Area, but they have decided to
dump the party for APC.”
