No fewer than 5,060 members of the All Progressives Congress in Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of Bauchi State have defected to the Peoples Democratic Party.

The leader of the defectors, Adbullahi Bafala, while addressing a mammoth crowd during a rally in Bununu, the headquarters of Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area, said they took the decision to move to the PDP because of the massive infrastructural development recorded under the leadership of Governor Bala Mohammed in less than three years.

He said, “I left APC to join PDP with 5,060 followers. What impressed me was the good work of the governor. He is working for the people of Bauchi State and not for his pocket.

“I cried when l saw the work he did on the Tafawa Balewa road to Yelwa Duguri, 52 kilometres road. It was a virgin land and the people of the area suffered for a long time because of the terrible road. Now we are smiling becauae of that road. We are praying to God that he would be re-elected to construct more roads linking the grassroots areas to Tafawa Balewa and beyond.”

Receiving the defectors in Bununu, Governor Mohammed said they made the right choice, adding that the APC was becoming more unpopular in Nigeria.

Mohammed assured the defectors that they would be carried along and urged the people of Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area to support all the candidates of the PDP in the forthcoming general elections.

Addressing supporters earlier in Tafawa Balewa, the governor pledged to provide a new transformer to the people of the area in two weeks saying he was shocked to learn they have not had electricity for months.

Mohammed also promised to construct more roads in Tafawa Balewa that would link communities in the state with neighboring Plateau State to boost socio-economic activities and improve the standard of living if re-elected.

He expressed hope that the people of Tafawa Balewa would not allow the Independent National Electoral Commission to record another inconclusive election in the LGA like was experienced in 2019 which almost led to breakdown of law and order.

Governor Mohammed then called on citizens of the state to put the state’s interest above personal aspirations for the growth and development of Nigeria’s democracy.

He warned that marauders would not be given the opportunity to take the leadership affairs, adding that candidates on the platform of the PDP in all levels were not blindfolded hence the need for to voters to vote for them in the forthcoming election.

Vote right.

Nice

Nonsense propaganda. Who count them?

Thiefnubuu should be watched closely let him not have heart attack

Good Post

I always enjoy this kind of news, may we witness More of it.

Dey play....if wishes were horse, could av been better if God can rule Nigeria by himself.because it's obvious black men can't really rule themselves.

Tilumbu deserved every action given to him. He thought the North are with him, Thiefbubu you’re on your own. Even El Rufai have started wailing after seeing the handwriting on the wall. Almost all the Northern governors are working for Atiku for your information. The day APC lost it that’s the very day they allow money to pick presidential candidate for them. The moment Thiefbubu was elected, the North call it game over. Even El Rufai will vote for him brother Atiku. Forget this their public stunt .

APC is gone for good.
LP to the rescue

This election go get K-leg, the best way to go is separation. Make everybody go develop their region. The truth is that anybody that will win this election will still work for all those hausa, they take this country like their personal property.

Cursed party

We cannot accept a Muslim Muslim ticket Nigeria is not Pakistan

The north would always be the north. I don't know why yourbas have refused to learn. See Awolowo, then Abiola now Tinubu...they keep seeing Igbos as their enemies when the north keeps betraying them over and over again.

This I have seen.

Tinububalls:

All those APC urchins will still become beggars after the elections. Some of them have already started begging for money online. They are not normal people with morals so they cannot function in a sane society like the one Nigeria will have under Peter Obi. It doesn't matter what they do. Even if they leave the country they will still fail anywhere they go.

Mr. Peter Obi is the next president of Nigeria.

Starting from this week,e go clear for Tinubu eyes.

Noted.

Who do the counting?

I hope baba won't see blue the way its going

Why them add the extra 60 people.. ?

Stale news of defection and more defections.
Nigerians will decide. . . . not 'DEFECTIONS'.

Atiku can't win this election relying on votes only from his own region. He will fail without the South. Buhari failed previously before he joined hands with the progressives.

Who is giving out this figure? How the hell will someone know the exact number of members that defect?

Bauchi is PDP, the APC is trying but e go hard for them.

.

Most of these defections are influenced by the Governorship candidates and not the Presidential candidates.

Most Nigerians will not necessarily vote for same party they voted for in the Governship election & the Presidential election.
