216 PDP, NNPP Members Defect To APC In Jigawa by Slytiger(op): 5:08pm On Apr 23, 2025
No fewer than 216 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gagarawa local government area of Jigawa State.

The defectors were formally received into the APC during a “Citizens and Government Engagement Forum” held at the local government headquarters.

The event was attended by the state governor, Malam Umar Namadi, and other top government officials.

At the occasion, Governor Namadi explained that the forum was established to allow the electorate to hear about the government’s achievements over the past two years and its plans.

It also allows citizens to voice their demands and challenges for prompt government intervention.

Governor Namadi emphasised that the forum is open to all Jigawa citizens, regardless of political affiliation, and that his administration is always ready to listen to genuine complaints and constructive criticism.

He reiterated his government’s commitment to implementing projects and programmes to improve people’s lives and ensure a prosperous and great Jigawa State.

During the event, six commissioners from various ministries presented a list of projects executed in the area under Governor Namadi’s administration.

These included road construction, empowerment programmes, renovation and completion of health facilities, such as the Gagarawa General Hospital, which is now ready for commissioning.

Also, employment opportunities, scholarships, classroom construction and renovation, women’s empowerment, and welfare initiatives were executed in the area, among other things.

Speaking on behalf of the defectors, Malam Habibu Dangodo handed over their membership list to the Jigawa State APC chairman, Hon. Aminu Sani Gumel.

Dangodo explained that their decision to join the APC was inspired by Governor Namadi’s purposeful and visionary leadership, which has renewed hope for a better life filled with opportunities and prosperity.

“Governor Namadi’s leadership has convinced us that the APC truly means well for Gagarawa local government and Jigawa State. We felt it necessary to join hands in building a modern, prosperous, and greater Jigawa,” Dangodo stated.

The Governor tore their PDP membership card, I love this Governor, Umar Namadi. Tear that demonic spirit of backwardness away from them before coming into the progressive party.



After God, na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria

APC is the party to beat in Jigawa.

IMO,PDP should not fret,but forget wasting resources for 2027.
It's a good thing it's happening, and it's time for them to actually rebrand the party.Go back to the drawing board and have a strict law on who and who should be their candidate for any elective position.
What is affecting the party is that they just dash anybody ticket ,they in turn abandon the party.Just look at this south south governors that have just thrown the labour of the party for their own personal gain.
PDP will rise,but they should stop giving ticket anyhow. If possible have a signed agreement between them and the candidates not to leave the party.

Black man politics, we never do anything right. Today pdp tomorrow Apc.

At this point Apc should start screaming everyone thoroughly before joining
Re: 216 PDP, NNPP Members Defect To APC In Jigawa by DeLaRue:
People should understand that no APC Northern Governor going for 2nd term will risk not supporting the President.

Governors will think of their personal interest before any 'Northern' Agenda.

As an APC Governor in the North, it will be too risky to tell voters to vote against APC in the Presidential election, and vote APC in Governorship election.

The Northern PDP Governors that did that against Mr Jonathan were swept away from office alongside Mr Jonathan. Many of them lost power forever.

Current Northern APC Governors going for 2nd term will have learnt from that episode. They will not carry 'Northern Agenda' for head and jeopardise their own interest.
