Yobe Governor Mai Mala Buni welcomed a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Haladu Mohammed, to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday.
Mamman Mohammed, Gov. Buni’s Media Aide, revealed this in a message to the media on Monday.
According to the statement, the primary opposition party in Yobe State has continued to diminish, jeopardizing the party’s already meager assets.
“The party lost Alh. Abbagana Tata, a former chairman and governorship aspirant of the party and Hajiya Masafaram, the strong woman of Yobe North politics, who defected along with thousands of their supporters to the APC.
“Tata and Masafaram had been loyal members of PDP for 23 years but joined APC to support Governor Mai Mala Buni’s administration in the task of building the state”, the statement added.
The statement further revealed that some of the few remaining members of the party have also indicated interest in moving into the APC.
