Governor Umaru Al-Makura of Nassarawa State on Thursday expressed confidence that the gale of defections sweeping across various state chapters of the All Progressive Congress (APC), would not reach the State.
A few days ago, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki had officially renounced his membership of the ruling APC to join the opposition PDP.
While Nigerians were still trying to savour the news of Saraki’s defection, Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, yesterday officially dumped APC for PDP.
However, Al-Makura during an expanded stakeholders’ meeting of the party in Lafia declared that Nasarawa State would always support Buhari, and assured that the President would have bloc votes in 2019.
NAN quoted him saying, “The gale of defections rocking the APC will not reach Nasarawa; I am very confident of that,”
He commended APC members of the National Assembly from the state for remaining resolute in support of the party, and urged them to remain loyal party members.
Al-Makura urged stakeholders to disregard speculations by people seeking to break the ranks of APC in the state, saying that the party was “fully intact”.
