The All Progressives Congress in Kano State has received more defectors ahead of the February and March general election in Dambatta and Makoda Local Government Areas of the state.
The latest saw scores of supporters of the African Democratic Congress, led by one of its candidates for the 2023 polls.
The ADC candidate for Dambatta/Makoda Federal Constituency, Sani Buhari Ubanta, and a stalwart of the New Nigeria People’s Party in the area, Mansur Haruna, led the defectors to the APC on Saturday.
They were received into the party by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje amid resounding ovation from the large crowd of party supporters and officials.
They expressed interest in the APC as the only party that would meet their expectations through good democratic governance.
Ganduje urged the people of Dambatta and Makoda Local Government Areas to vote for the APC governorship candidate, Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, and his running mate, Murtala Garo, as the next Governor and Deputy Governor of the state, to enable continuity in governance.
He said electing the APC flag bearers in the forthcoming governorship election in the state would enable them to continue with the laudable programmes of his administration.
He said Gawuna and Garo had been part of the conception and implementation of the sound programmes of the present administration and were eminently qualified to be elected.
He described Gawuna and Garo as the best candidates for governor and deputy governor for the state in view of their impressive records of performance in the various public offices they had held.
He then asked the gathering to vote for the APC candidates seeking elections to enable the people to continue to reap the dividends of democracy.
Gawuna said as a disciple of Ganduje, he would run an open government, if elected as the next governor of the state, adding that electoral victory was from God.
Gawuna stated that from all indications, they would emerge victorious in the forthcoming general election, and urged the people of the area to massively vote for him and the other APC candidates during the polls.
Earlier, the state Chairman of the APC, Prince Abdullahi Abbas, said the mammoth crowd that received the Gawauna/Garo campaign train in the area was an indication that the APC would win all the elective positions in the forthcoming general election.
