The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has confirmed that about 15.000 APC members have defected to the party barely 16 days to the general-elections.
The Bauchi State Chairman, Hamza Akushe Akuyam disclosed this while receiving the defectors in Katagum, Danbam and Misau LGAs of the state.
Akuyam explained that lack of justice and internal democracy inform the defection of the APC supporters to PDP.
He berated the ruling party for failing to fulfil its campaign promises.
” From today, we are receiving about 15,000 APC defectors to PDP in Katagum, Danbam and Misau LGAs and it’s a milestone to PDP victory,” said Akuyam.
The chairman reiterated that poverty was a major reason APC supporters have continued to join the PDP, saying the party’s doors are opened to accommodate all Nigerians.
He assured that PDP will defeat APC in all the elections and warned against any attempt to rig the election using INEC.
Leader of the defectors, Mallam Isa Adamu accused the APC of deceiving Nigerians in the 2015 election when it has no blueprints for its citizens.
Adamu said Buhari was an agent of bad governance who had no accurate idea on how to govern the nation.
” We dumped the APC for PDP to protect our political career from being hampered by the ruling party that won 2015 elections by chance,” said Adamu.
