2023: 12,963 APC members defects to PDP in Katsina
In Jibia and Kaita local government areas of Katsina, 12,963 members of the All Progressive Congress, the party in power, have defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as the wave of defections continues.

The PDP candidate for governor of Katsina state, Senator Yakubu Lado Danmarke, and party leaders in the state welcomed the defectors over the weekend.

The former Special Adviser to the Governor Aminu Bello Masari, Alhaji Aminu Lawal Jibia, Alhaji Sa'adu Mai Gishiri Kaita, and numerous other prominent APC members are among the defectors.

Speaking at the occasion, Senator Yakubu Lado Danmarke, a PDP candidate for governor, promised the residents of Jibia that, if elected, he would return the region to security, peace, and order within a hundred days.

Danmarke lamented that Jibia that was known for business activities has been crippled due to wickedness, hatred and bad government policies.

“We will Insha Allah if elected ensure that Jibia returned to it’s past glory as the window of economic activities in the entire country” he vowed.

He assured the defectors that, they would be carried along in all the party activities in the state.

In his remarks, the leader of the defectors, Alhaji Aminu Lawal Jibia alleged that there is nothing in APC other than wickedness, hatred and malice.

He alleged that, “as you can see nobody of substance is now left in APC in Jibia and Kaita”.

On his part, the state PDP chairman, Alhaji Lawal Uli assured the defectors of Justice and fair play that the party is known for over the years.

He urged them to work hard for the success of the party in the forthcoming general elections.

The highlight of the event include the burning of brooms which is the symbol of APC by the defectors.
