LP Governorship Candidate, Others Defect To APC

Tsoho Garba, the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate in Jigawa State, and all of the party’s National Assembly candidates have defected to the APC.

This was confirmed by Tsoho Garba on Saturday following a meeting with APC stakeholders in Dutse, the state capital.

He claimed that the majority of party executives from all 27 local government areas in the state, including the state’s LP chairman, had joined the mass exodus to the APC.

Tsoho claimed they made the decision to abandon their campaign and party in favor of the APC after recognizing the state’s governor, Badaru Abubakar, had made great strides.

Tsoho said, ” People requested for us to contest under labour party, but in the cause of our campaign tour across the state we all got to know how APC government transformed the state through projects and programs that have a direct bearing on the common man”

” If we are contesting to seek the progress of our state, it is no doubt what Jigawa needs is continuity and the best thing is to allow APC to continue driving the force in order not to deviate from the main track. ”

“So from today, all of us and our political allies have joined the APC and we vow to work for its success at the national and state level in the coming general election”

Receiving the defectors, Governor Badaru Abubakar applauded their commitment towards the development of the state and promised to accord them every right enjoyed by the old members of the party.
