The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State has received prominent politicians who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into its fold.

The defected people included former Auditor-General of the party, Alhaji Rabiu Sa’idu, former Secretary, Caretaker Committee of the party, Alhaji Sirajo Ibrahim; and 15 other PDP executive members from Bubuce ward in Augie Local Government Area.

Others included Umaru Wakkala, Vice Chairman, Bubuche Ward; Salihu Shayi, Youth Leader; Alhaji Idi Bubuche, Treasurer; and Hamza Kilu, Auditor.

Speaking shortly after making their declaration to join the ruling party, the former Auditor-General of the party, Saidu attributed his defection to the “sterling leadership qualities of Gov. Atiku Bagudu”.

He also said that he denounced his membership in the PDP due to alleged injustice and infringement on their rights in the party.
