The Deputy Chairman of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in Dass Local Government Area of Bauchi State, Yunusa Umar, has led over 7,500 party members, including APC Youth Leader Yusuf Inuwa Bora and Welfare Secretary Isah Zakaria, in defecting to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

The defectors were officially received by the PDP Chairman in Dass, Hon. Yusuf Sabo, and the Executive Chairman of Dass LGA, Hon. Mohammed Abubakar Jibo, on Sunday at the PDP secretariat in Dass.

Justifying their decision, Yunusa Umar cited Governor Bala Mohammed’s impressive performance as the key reason for their defection. He commended the Governor for his people-oriented policies and programs since assuming office in 2019, highlighting their positive impact on citizens.

“Governor Bala Mohammed’s policies and programs have convinced us to join the PDP. As politicians, the welfare of our supporters is our top priority, and we have seen that PDP genuinely cares about the people. There was no reason to hesitate any longer,” Umar stated.

He further assured that the new members would mobilise votes for the PDP in the next general elections and contribute to the party’s growth and development in the state.

Other defectors at the event also commended Governor Mohammed’s developmental strides, noting that they had benefited more under his administration than during the tenure of former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt—Hon—Yakubu Dogara, who hails from the constituency.

The defectors also praised Hon Mohammed Jibo’s performance at the local government level and pledged their continued support for his administration.

The Dass LG Chairman, Hon. Mohammed Jibo, described their defection as a significant development, emphasising that despite challenges, Governor Bala Mohammed’s administration remains committed to taking Bauchi State to greater heights.

Jibo assured the new PDP members that they would be fully integrated into the party without discrimination and urged them to work with his administration to progress the Dass local government area.
