“The government had for the past seven and half years continued to roll out sustainable programmes that impacted positively to the lives of the less privileged in the country.
“Therefore, I called on all of you to sustain more support for the victory of APC in order for the party to continue to provide more democratic dividends for our people,” he said.
Receiving the defectors, Alhaji Isa Sadiq-Achida, the state APC Chairman, described them as pillars of democracy in the area.

Some of the defectors, Alhaji Labaran Gidan-Ruwa, Hajiya Balkisu Dundaye, and Malami Mai-Sojoji, revealed that they left PDP in the state following its alleged failure to deliver on the promises made.
