Dr. Umar Mantu, the son of former Deputy Senate President Ibrahim Mantu, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This is contained in a statement issued by Plateau APC Publicity Secretary, Mr Sylvanus Namang, on Sunday.

According to the statement, Umar officially joined the APC at his Chanso Ward in Mangu Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau state.

He said that the legal practitioner defected with over 20, 000 PDP supporters from Mangu and Bokkos LGAs.

“The young and charismatic politician, who is in his 30s, said he joined the APC due to the need to be in the right place to contribute my quota to the growth of democracy.”

“My coming into the APC would add value to the party as I would actively play my role to ensure victory for the party from top to bottom in the 2023 general elections,” he said.

Malam Sadak Zakari, the APC Chanso ward chairman, who received Umar, expressed delight over the development.

Zakari said the defection would enhance the fortunes of APC in Chanso Ward, Pyem Chiefdom, Mangu LGA and Plateau at large, given the statue of defector.

Mr. Elisha Shehu, the state’s Commissioner for Environment, praised Umar for making the wise decision to abandon the PDP in favour of the APC.

The commissioner said that given his antecedents in PDP, his joining the APC was a sure victory for APC at all levels, as he brought his political wizardry, experience and passion into the party

This one will just be deceiving himself looking for thread to implant obi. Does obi look like serious candidate to you or just just attention seeker? People don't regard LP as a serious party, how many times have you heard people in thousand defecting to LP? During election, focus will be between Tinubu and Atiku, APC and PDP as usual; only crumb votes will fall down for obi to pick in small thousand and hundreds. Get used to it to avoid high BP in February. LP candidate and supporters are only in this election to catch cruise and labour in vain

Tinubu is loved in the NORTH.

I've been saying it unless APC governors in the North did not work for Tinubu he will surely win.

It will not stop APC from losing.
It is APC's destiny to lose the 2023 presidential elections. Nothing can change that.

I'm reserving the things I have to say to the children of hate and bigotry until after the election by which time they must have learnt that politics isn't about nzobu nzobu noisemaking.

Welcome to best party Mantu

He even flaunt the logo

Tinubu is coming

His defection holds no water.

If he likes he should defect to the moon, no Muslim has ever won Plateau state in a presidential election aside Yar'Adua whom we can all confess to be an upright Muslim.


Plateau that I know just like Benue and southern Kaduna will NEVER support a Muslim Muslim ticket after all the killings and renaming of villages that happened under Buhari administration.

You think they will forget? They will never forget

very good

Lies everywhere, one person will decamp in his house to a party and claim 20,000 supporter's decamped with him. Lies, how did he come up the figures?

Neck pressing for zombidiots..as it's said, The strong shall press the neck of the weak
