The Bauchi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday lost 7,000 members in Bauchi Local Government Areas of the state to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The leader of the defectors, Mallam Adamu Dako, in company of his supporters, said they decided to join the PDP due to the “injustice meted on them by the APC leadership”.

Dako, who was tagged youth leader, said they left the APC because of the undemocratic principles of its leaders.

He pledged to work towards the success of PDP in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.

Receiving the defectors at the Bauchi Local Government Secretatiat of the party, Bauchi State Governor Senator Bala Mohammed assured them of fairness and equity in their new party.

He added that the PDP remained an indivisible and united party in the state.

Represented by his political adviser Honourable Abubakar Faggo at the event, the governor said: “Today Adamu Dako when one sees the mammoth crowd that accompanied you, he is reassured of the success of the party at all levels In 2023.

Fago, who was flanked by the Special Adviser Projects Monitoring Musa Ahmed Azare, said “As new members, I assure you of all rights that accrue to the rest of our members. We will ensure that you benefit from every opportunity regarding the welfare of members without sentiments”.

They gave Dako APC membership cards and pledged to register the remaining defectors at their wards.

Reacting to the defection of the APC members to PDP, the state Publicity Secretary of the APC, Adamu Aliyu Jalla, challenged the PDP and Dako to mention the names of the 7,000 APC members he defected with.

“The crowd that accompanied him to the secretariat of PDP, there is no badge on their faces that shows that they are members of APC.

“We agree he left the party alone, even people with offices that left the party they left alone and left their supporters in APC. Our record is intact we have confirmed all our members are still with us.”

Buhari was the factor holding APC together.


Now he's in the twilight of his tenure, people are now going back to their roots.


Tinubu might wake up one day and realize that MC Oluomo is the only APC member left in the party.
