The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kebbi State has received more than 10,000 defectors from the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, including several local government party chairmen and political stakeholders.

The defectors were formally received on Tuesday at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi by Governor Nasir Idris, who assured them of equal treatment and full integration into the ruling party.

Addressing the gathering, the governor described the APC as a party open to all and urged the new members to work with existing party leaders to strengthen the party ahead of future elections.

The governor further called on APC leaders across the state to embrace the new members and ensure their full participation in party activities.

Speaking on behalf of supporters of ADC chieftain Senator Garba Musa Maidoki, Bello Doya said the group decided to join the APC to support the developmental programmes of the Idris administration, which he described as transparent and people-oriented.

In a related development, the Chairman of the PDP Local Government Chairmen’s Association in Kebbi State also defected to the APC alongside other party officials.

Responding on behalf of the PDP defectors, the Chairman of Bunza Local Government Area, Bello Manti, said they were motivated by the governor’s performance and inclusive style of leadership.

Among the prominent defectors were the PDP chairmen of Dandi, Koko/Besse, Arewa, Zuru, Ngaski, Yauri, Shanga, Danko-Wasagu, Sakaba and Aliero local government areas.
