A former Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Yobe State, Alhaji Abbagana Tata, along with 1,051 party officials from ward to state levels, have dumped the party for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The former PDP stalwart said he and thousands of PDP members joined the APC in appreciation of the remarkable achievements made by Governor Mai Mala Buni-led administration.

“We are joining the APC to support the Buni government to build our dear state, we will support the government and the party in the efforts to move Yobe state forward.

“I want to assure our collective loyalty to His Excellency Governor Mai Mala Buni, the leadership of APC and the Yobe state government” Abbagana assured.

Receiving the former PDP stalwarts, Governor Buni, commended the defectors for the courage and love they have for the state.

“I am happy your defection is driven by patriotism and appreciation of the APC administration to which you now belong,” he said.

According to the Governor, Abbagana Tata is a principled and self-accomplished politician who cannot be materially lured to abandon his party for another.

“I am therefore grateful that such principled politicians are convinced by our modest achievements to join the party.

“We ran futuristic policies and programmes for a prosperous future for our people.

“We will continue to remain development oriented to improve the lives of our good people” Governor Buni assured.

He called on party members to open more space for those moving from other parties to the APC.

“We have enough space to accommodate everyone with equal opportunities,” he said.

The Governor said the new members will henceforth enjoy equal rights and opportunities like older members of the party.

Come 2023 your President will be Peter Obi or Atiku, choose wisely.
As for tinubu and his evil APC,they are already done for.
From the East to the West to the South to the North, every sensible Nigerian agrees that Apc is the greatest disaster to hit this Country and they must go to save Nigeria now.
Apc must be crushed.

The Chairman Working Committee Minority Tribes and Associations in Biu Local Government Area of Borno state, Hon Haruna Garba, popularly known as ‘One-Ten’ alongside 5,000 supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’ on Thursday, resigned from the party and joined the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Biu is one of the largest and most developed local government areas, apart from Maiduguri Metropolitan Council and Jere local government area in the state.

Recall that Governor Babagana Zulum and the state Chairman of the APC, Hon Ali Bukar Dalori among other dignitaries were in Biu for the past three days, where they commissioned various projects including 60 classroom blocks constructed for the community School for Higher Islamic Studies, Mega School in Buratai, foundation laying for the construction of Vocational and Skills acquisition centre and disbursement of over N200 million empowerment initiatives in the Council area.

The ex-chieftain of PDP, Alhaji Haruna Garba who led the new entrants, including women and youths leaders from different wards within the local government area into the APC, attributed their decision to the good and purpose-driven leadership style of Gov. Zulum.

He cited that Governor Zulum has within the last three and half years restored peace and harmony, and provided needed dividends of democracy with educational transformation among other achievements too numerous to mention.

He appealed to the present administration to carry them along in the discharge of policies and programmes in moving Borno to greater heights.

Most of the defectors in an interview with Journalists said the efforts of the present administration in the provision of potable water, construction of classroom blocks, poverty alleviation materials and improvement in the health care delivery services in the area convinced them to join the APC.

They said their decision to join the APC was to appreciate the governor’s people-oriented policies toward improving the well-being of the people.

Welcoming the new members, Gov. Zulum said the APC-led state government had entrenched good governance, Justice and transparency, as well as inclusivity.

He urged the new defectors to rally around the present administration in it’s quest to reposition Borno and regain its lost glory.

He assured them that the government under his leadership will give equal treatment in providing the needed dividends of democracy at all levels.

”With the calibre of defectors received in Biu LGA, the APC in Borno had been further fortified and this means that our chances in 2023 are getting brighter by giving our block votes to our Presidential Candidate, Ahmed Hola Tinubu, his running mate and Vice-Presidential Candidate, Senator Kashim Shettima, and all other candidates contesting on our party’s platform to ensure victory”, the governor added.

The Chairman of APC in Borno state, Ali Dalori while assisting the governor and presenting the new APC flags and membership cards to the new entrants, lauded Zulum for delivering on his mandate to transform the state.

He said: ”This is why APC has become a party that everyone wants to join and we will keep receiving new members”. He stated.
