2, 000 Defect From APC, PDP To NNPP In Gombe

About 2,000 supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaltungo local government area of Gombe State yesterday defected to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).

Governorship candidate of the party in the state, Hon. Khamisu Mailantarki together with other party chieftains, received the defectors.

The governorship candidate while receiving them said their coming into the party at this period was a great success, promising that they would be carried along in all his political activities.

He said both PDP and APC had ruled the state in the past years but had not performed according to the people’s expectations.

Mailantarki stated that NNPP would provide a better alternative in next year’s election, and urged the new members to mobilise people widely in their places.

“Glory be to Almighty God for the successes being recorded by the NNPP every passing day. This is as a result of the good manifesto of the party, that is why more people are trooping to join it. Together, we can do it and have a new Gombe State come 2023,” he said.

Some of the party chieftains that attended the event included; the party’s Gombe south senatorial candidate Abigail David Albashi, deputy governorship candidate Hamma Tanimu and state party chairman, Maikano Abdullahi.
