End Of The Road For PDP In 2019, As Tens Of Thousands More Defect To Ruling APC
More than twenty-five (25,000) members of the Kwankwasiyya movement (members loyal to former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Kano South have joined the camp of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, receiving the decampees, presented flags to all candidates contesting for seats in the House of Representatives and state Assembly in the 2019 general polls and assured the decampees equal treatment in the party and told them that they have come to where they and their children would benefit from the abundant dividends of democracy.
At the meeting, Ganduje pointed out that the impressive achievements of the APC, at both federal and state levels, were enough credentials for the party to emerge victorious in the 2019 elections.
The governor said: “President Muhammadu Buhari’s unrelenting efforts in developing our dear country from all fronts, particularly in the areas he (Buhari) identified as his priorities, security, economy and employment, are platforms to give us more courage for 2019.”
At the three senatorial zones, Ganduje urged the defectors, who claimed that they were in Rano local government area to witness the formal presentation of flags to Senator Kabiru Gaya and other candidates from Kano South by Governor Ganduje, during the final grand rally for all candidates from the zone, to ensure that President Muhammadu Buhari secured the over five million votes he promised him in the forthcoming 2019 presidential polls.
“Nigeria has no any other serious candidate than President Muhammadu Buhari. We believe in his honesty, integrity, accountability and transparency attributes. That is why his good work as our President goes across the nation. Without considering any ethnic, religious or sectional lines, he is a true patriotic democrat and a sincere Nigerian.”
