2019: 2,000 APC, ADP members defect to PDP in Niger

No fewer than 2,000 members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and
the Advanced Democratic Party, ADP, have defected to the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, in Niger State.

The decampees were received on Wednesday by the former governor of the
state and leader of the party in the state, Muazu Babangida Aliyu at
the PDP gubernatorial campaign flag-off in Bida, the headquarters of
Bida local government area.

Those from the APC were led by Alhaji Kudu Kasim, while ADP decampees
were led by Alhaji Mohammed Yahaya also known as "Designer".

Addressing the decampees, Aliyu said, "Nigerians have seen the
difference between the PDP and the ruling APC in the last three and
the half years of the Buhari administration, and are now in a better
position to make the right choice in 2019.

"Voting for APC in 2019 means voting for next level poverty," Aliyu said.

The decampees also pledged to ensure that the PDP emerges victorious
in the forthcoming general election in the state.
