Gov Idris receives PDP stalwarts, supporters in Zuru into APC
Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Dr.Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu, on Wednesday received prominent stalwarts of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) along with hundreds of their supporters who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zuru.
The mass defection marks a major political boost for the APC in Kebbi State.
Among the notable decampees were Alhaji Saleh Gambo, a renowned businessman, and Alhaji Lawali Dagolo, former Deputy Chairman of the PDP in Kebbi State.
The defectors cited Governor Idris’ fair and inclusive leadership style, as well as his people-centered developmental projects across the state, as reasons for their decision to join the ruling party.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Alhaji Saleh Gambo pledged unwavering loyalty to the Governor and promised, along with their supporters, to work tirelessly for the success of his administration.
In his remarks, Senator Garba Musa Maidoki, who facilitated their defection, told the Governor that with the departure of these key figures, the PDP in the Zuru Emirate has been significantly weakened and now lacks any credible political leadership.
Also speaking, the APC State Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kana-Zuru, warmly welcomed the new members and assured them of equal treatment and full integration into the party.
