A People’s Democratic Party (PDP) House of Assembly candidate in Yobe, Zanna Danani, on Friday dropped his election bid and defected to the APC.
The defection was coming less than 24 hours to the governorship and state assembly elections.
Zanna, who defected along with several other chieftains of PDP to APC, told newsmen in Damaturu that the action was to enable them join the mainstream of the political development of the country.
Lawan-Gana Lantewa, who spoke on behalf of those who defected, said “we are joining APC to ensure that our people, who suffered insurgency, are adequately catered for under the APC administration”.
He said they would work for the success of APC in the governorship and state assembly elections.
