The Speaker of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Dr. Danladi Jatau, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) remains the party to beat at all levels in the upcoming 2027 general election.
Jatau made the remark on Tuesday in Lafia while hosting over 20 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders of Eggon extraction who are set to defect to the APC.
He assured both new and existing members of equal opportunities and rights within the party. Expressing satisfaction with their decision, he described it as timely and well-informed.
“I will inform the governor and the party chairman of their move, after which they will be received officially,” Jatau said, describing the defections as another significant gain and victory for the ruling party in the state.
He also called on party members to maintain loyalty, unity, and teamwork to ensure a landslide victory in 2027. The speaker urged residents to continue praying for and supporting the administration of President Bola Tinubu and Governor Abdullahi Sule to succeed.
Earlier, the leader of the defecting team, Alhaji Abubakar Company, explained that their decision to switch allegiance was motivated by the development and quality leadership of Governor Sule and Speaker Jatau. He added that they would add value to the party and help ensure its victory beyond 2027.
