The former Gombe State PDP Chairman, Hon Shuaibu Baba Sabulu and thousands of other members of the party including key party stalwarts decamped to the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) on Sunday.

The NNPP gubernatorial candidate, Khamisu Ahmad Mailantarki, party Chairman and other executives, and hundreds of supporters were in Billiri LGA to receive the decampees, among whom were Yila Dankuka, a

former Deputy Chairman, Billiri LGA, Phillips Bataliya and Hon Muhammad Balas.


Others include current and former LGA and wards party officials, former councillors as well as women and youth groups.

Receiving the defectors, Mailantarki assured them that they would be carried along in all the activities of the party, especially now that the campaigns will formally be commenced soon.

He urged them to garner more support and promote the party and its candidates in all the nooks and crannies of the state, stressing that it is only through grassroots mobilization and voters sensitization the NNPP can uproot and defeat the failed ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

Speaking while presenting the NNPP membership card to the new members, the chairman of the state chapter of the NNPP, Maikano Abdullahi, assured the defectors of equal opportunities in the party assuring that the NNPP would always uphold the tenets of justice, fairness and equity.

Speaking on behalf of the decampees, Hon. Baba Sabulu said they decided to leave the PDP and joined the NNPP because the state needs better leadership which according to him, Mailantarki can give.


“We all decided to quit and join the NNPP so that we can have better leadership in Gombe State.

“We see Mailantarki as a better alternative for Gombe. He possesses the requisite character and capacity to rescue Gombe State from the misrule of the APC. He has always been saying the right things and has done the right things in the past,” he said.

This is rubbish and you know it.how will atiku win gombe when you hardly see defections to pdp? All defections are from pdp to apc,nnpp of lp? I dont understand how you reason.you csn see the massive campaign going in in gombe for tinubu,who is campaigning for atiku? Please,forget about gombe.atiku won't see 25% in yobe and borno,it is like you are joking shettima and other kanuris.
Atiku will win bauchi but because of kwankwaso and the fight with gov bala the margin will be narrow.same in taraba.his biggest margin will be in Adamawa though obi and Tinubu will get 20% or more.stop overrating atiku,pdp platform is what is giving him strength

Why did Buhari of CPC got over 70% of votes in Yobe & Borno states in 2011 despite the fact that the both states was controlled by ANPP at that time...?

Atiku will surely get his 25% in the both states especially Yobe...

Even in that 2011,buhari won the nw but his party didnt win guber.the people of yobe borno always vote buhari because of ties.his mum is kanuris plus he was governor of ne and favoured them.
Go back to the 2nd republic,that area always vote for kanuro interest.they voted for waziri Ibrahim instead of shagari.in 1999,they voted abiola because of kingibe.pdp lowest votes has always come from here.atiku couldn't get more than 10%.ask yourself why?
Either the people hate atiku or hate pdp or pdp has no interest here or they prefer protecting kanuri interests.mind you all the major kanuri leaders from bukar Abba Ibrahim to Ali modu sheriff,gaidam,buni,kingibe etc are all with tinubu.the last time kanuri got close to power was in 1993 and under buhari when buhari was using kingibe and Abba kyari.guy,these men will deliver for tinubu.
Another angle is that a lot of people feel that kingibe betrayed abiola.now,tinubu was a disciple of abiola and kingibe is still alive.this is a chance for the kanuris to correct that mistake and get close to power.apc weakest state is Enugu and anambra where they won't get 25%.pdp weakest state too is here.cc kyase,svoboda,itstutsi..

Atiku is an overrated politician. He has no power base.
