150 APC members defects to PDP in Abuja

More than 150 members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have renounced the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kuje Area Council, FCT on Monday .

The defectors passed over their APC membership cards, brooms, and posters in replacement for the umbrella of the PDP.

The leader of the defectors and former Kuje APC chairman, Godwin Poyi stated that they were displeased by the approach of APC policies in their area.

“We decided to join the PDP to contribute to the development of Kuje Area Council and the country as a whole.

“Our stay in APC has not been encouraging. APC policies and approach have not encouraged democracy and governance in the area council,” he said.

Receiving the defector, the Chairman of PDP in Kuje Area Council, Ismaila Mohammed, stated that more defectors were still coming to the party to develop democracy in Kuje.

Mr Mohammed added that PDP would snatch the chairmanship position in 2022 in Kuje Area Council to expand the area and the country.
