Ahead of 2019 general elections , about 2000 supporters of People Democratic Party in Gombe State have defected to the All Progressives Congress APC in the State including by the younger brother of Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo

Buhari Dankwambo came after the failed efforts of his brother and some political bigwigs to convince to remain in remain in the PDP .

Our correspondent learned that Buhari Dankwambo, until his defection, had been under pressure from different quarters to reverse his decision. It was gathered that he was given juicy offers but he rejected them.

A source closed to the government said the efforts to stop Dankwambo from moving to APC was not because of his political relevance but because it will be embarrassing for the blood brother of a sitting governor who is aspiring to be the president of Nigeria to decamped to an opposition party.

“Obviously something is wrong ; it shows that the governor is not capable of managing situations around him , ” the source said .

“We felt we could manage the situation but unfortunately it was above our ability,” the source said, refusing to tell our correspondent details of what transpired, simply saying, “The governor takes the highest proportion of the blame in the whole act .”

Our correspondent gathered that Dankwambo was formally presented with his membership card by the chairman of his Ajiya ward in Gombe North constituency after he registered. Our correspondent further learnt that his supporters will also join him in APC when he is formally presented to the state leadership of the party at a grand reception in Gombe , the state capital.

In a telephone interview with newsmen Buhari Dankwambo, said that he decided to join APC because the PDP was not fair to him.

“Some people in the PDP have decided not to be fair to me ,” he said . “Since PDP cannot accommodate me I decided to move to the APC to pursue my political ambition.”

We are gradually getting to the promised land...APC...JKF! LEKAN SI! I can spot some sore loser below

if it's NOT Damkwambo,the Executive Governor Of Gombe State,then It's a fake & fraudulent Damkwambo.the only hope of APC in Gombe

This is becoming childish...so APC has now resorted to hunting for the relations ,workers, of PDP members in desperation??..,It simply shows how frustrated,empty,shallow and lacking in ideas and strategy APC zombies are

We await 'Obiano's nanny decamp to APC with 5000 PDP members.Wike,Saraki,Atiku et al's drivers and housekeepers decamp to APC with 10,000 PDP members


Unitelligent scroundrels

sai baba til 2023

If APC wins Gombe, I will chop off my balls. There's just nothing like APC in that state. Even an APC Senator (Nafada) had to decamp to PDP just to contest the governorship elections, knowing fully well he stood a Zero chance in his former party.

Dankwambo is a serial betrayer. I dislike that idiot.

It is finished.

See stupid talk .

lol....

from pdp to apc,always written as obi /atiku younger brother defect....lol

Nigerian politics

Imagine the wackiness.
A governor's younger brother switched parties, so what?
What's the meaning of 2000 supporters?
Two thousand registered PDP members or 2000 people who've pledged their PVCs to APC or what?
All in all, this is stupid talk.

I just tire

This Dankwambo's brother is as inconsequential as the 2000 people that followed him. The dude is just confused. Instead of aligning with ur brother the Governor to create a strong political foundation in ur family mumu is busy trying to be relevant not knowing that as soon as Dankwambo finishes his tenure he (the brother) will immediately become inefficiently useless and unheard of.

.

If he's not politically relevant as the report says, I'm ok

D

If no be prodigal son, ee go be a cursed uncle.

Very soon na gateman go defect.

The era of rebellion. Brothers turning against brothers, children turning against their fathers
