Another 7 Lawmakers, Ex-PDP Chairman Dump PDP for APC



A political earthquake is sweeping through the landscape courtesy of
the Broom Revolution from the APC and it is hitting so hard that you
can't but notice its effect. As you read this, a former chairman of PDP,
Alhaji Yaro Audi Makama has led 74 strong stakeholders of the party
in Kaduna State, including seven former members of the State House
of Assembly, to the All Progressives Congress.
Those who defected from the PDP said: "We are here to
announce to the world that we have decided to dump the PDP to
join the APC, because we believe in the dreams and manifestos
of the APC. Our target is to dislodge PDP come 2015 in Kaduna
State.
"Our dear state has suffered and is still suffering from
underdevelopment, infrastructural decay, lack of peace and unity
and distrust as a result of bad governance from the PDP.”
Already, the PDP had recently lost one of its powerful stakeholders
and a former gubernatorial aspirant, Alhaji Suleiman Hukunyi to the
APC.
Alhaji Yaro, a former PDP chairman in the state, along with another
former chairman of the PDP said they decided to join the APC to save
Kaduna State from total collapse.
Interim chairman of the APC and retired federal permanent secretary
Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed received the defectors. He said, “We are very
happy to receive the prominent members of the PDP. They have
realised that the future belongs to APC."
