The ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in Jigawa, says arrangements have been concluded to receive 4,000 members of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) into its fold.
The State’s APC Chairman Alhaji Aminu Sani-Gumel, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Tuesday that all the necessary required procedures for their smooth transition had been concluded.
Sani-Gumel disclosed that over 2,000 members of PDP had earlier dumped the party for APC in Maigatari and Kafin Hausa Local Government Areas of the state.

He confirmed that 4,000 PDP members had also indicated interest to join the APC in Garki and Birnin Kudu LGAs, adding that their reception would soon hold.
“Preparation for the official ceremony to welcome them into the ruling party in the state is on top gear,” he stated.
Sani-Gumel attributed the successes recorded by the APC to the leadership qualities of President Muhammadu Buhari at the centre as well as that of Governor Muhammad Badaru at the state level.
He stated that the defecting PDP members were equally attracted by the party’s style of leadership towards fulfilling its campaign promises at all levels.
He reiterated commitment of the party’s leadership towards ensuring good governance and accountability in the country.
The APC chairman urged members to embark on mass mobilization at the grassroot ahead of its national convention billed for February.
