Abubakar said, ”the defectors had been working for PDP in many fields but found no political Ideology and focus within the party which made them cease their support and joined APC.

”The new members dumped the PDP following an intervention by one of the APC stakeholders in the state, Alhaji Umaru Tambuwal.”

Abubakar expressed confidence that APC would emerge victorious during the polls considering the volume of people joining the party on a daily basis. (NAN)
