A SERVING member of the House of
Representatives from Kano State, Bashir
Husain, and the Special Assistant to Governor
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso on Empowerment
Programme, Hajia Maryma Kofar Mata, were
among the members of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), who decamped to the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
The development, according to a statement
made available by the media office of Vice
President Mohammed Namadi Sambo,
yesterday, is a fallout of the visit of Sambo
to the state.
According to the statement, Husain is
representing Gwale Federal Constituency,
while Kofar Mata was the immediate past
State Women Leader of APC.
It added that Sambo, during the Kano visit,
met with several stakeholders, where he
urged them to reach out to the people and
inform them of the achievements of the
President Jonathan-led administration and
the laudable programmes of the PDP. The
fallout of these stakeholders’ meetings was
the defection of the two stalwarts of APC.
The Vice President, while receiving the
decampees, welcomed them warmly to the
shade provided by the party, stressing that
PDP’s umbrella was large enough to
accommodate anyone interested in joining
the party.
He urged them to feel at home and work
assiduously for the victory of the party in
the forthcoming elections, so that the party
and the administration would continue to
move the country forward.
Sambo, who described the PDP as “the party
of Nigeria with the most people oriented
programmes that has been transforming the
socio-economic wellbeing of Nigerians in the
right direction,” also added, “PDP is Nigeria,
and Nigeria is PDP. If you go to every corner
and the remotest part of Nigeria, PDP has a
system in place.”
In their response, the decampees said they
defected from the APC because the PDP and
the administration of President Jonathan and
Vice President Sambo, have been delivering
more and better dividends of democracy to
Nigerians through their Transformation
Agenda. They pledged to work tirelessly to
move the party and the country to greater
heights.
