Over 13,000 members of the All Progressives Congress, on Saturday, dumped the ruling party and joined the Peoples Democratic Party, in Southern Kaduna.
Treasurer of the opposition party, North-West, Hon. Rabiu Bakori, who formally received the new members on behalf of the North-West Zonal PDP Chairman, Sen. Hayyatu Gwarzo, in Zonkwa, said for the party to win election come 2023 all hands must be on deck.
On his part, the Kaduna State PDP Chairman, Hon. Felix Hassan Hyat, described the defection as symbolic and historical, adding that it would take the PDP to Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, in 2023.According to him, “no other party, except the PDP has ever won an election in Southern Kaduna, and come 2023 no other party will win,” Hyat vowed.
Also, the PDP National Youth Leader, Hon. Mohammed Kadede, said the new members realised that PDP was the party that Nigerians needed come 2023, to rescue them from the APC’s regime. The PDP’s Jema’a Sanga House of Reps candidate, Hon. Dan Amos, maintained that the Labour Party candidate in the state, who is from Southern Kaduna region, will not win even his polling unit.
