The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Katsina State, says 5000 members of the running All Progressives Congress (APC), defected to it’s fold over the weekend.
The defecting members of the APC were from Matazu and Musawa Local Government Areas of the State.
They were received by the Chairman of the PDP in the State, Salisu Yusuf Majigiri.
“Today we received over 5,000 APC members from Matazu and Musawa Local Governments led by Ali Maikano and Isa Abba into our great party the PDP.
“As new members, I assure you of all rights accrued to the rest of our members. We will ensure that you benefit from every opportunity regarding the welfare of members without sentiments,” Majigiri said.
The leader of the defectors, Ali Maikano, said they decided to join the main opposition party due to injustice meted out to them by the APC leadership during the last primaries in the state.
