15 Borno PDP leaders join APC

The crisis rocking the ruling Peoples Democratic Party appears to have taken its toll on its fortunes in Borno State as 15 leaders of the party announced their defection to the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday.

Deputy State Chairman of the party, Habu Hamman, State Secretary, Mallam Gana Radu, Women Leader, Hajia Fati Kakena led the defecting members into the APC. They were received by Governor Kashim Ibrahim.

A statement signed by the defecting members read, “We the Borno State Executive Committee members of PDP in Borno State have voluntarily resigned and withdrawn our membership from the party and shifted our loyalty to the APC under the leadership of Kashim Shettima, the Governor of Borno State.

“We, as members of the State Executive Committee of PDP, decided to take such decision due to some developmental achievements carried out by the present administration that touch on the lives of the common man in the state.

“We shall continue to give our support to this administration on developmental aspects in the state. Despite all the security challenges facing the state for years, we witnessed tremendous achievements by the present administration.”
