Abubakar said: “Those received by APC were Lukman Kwaire and Anas Muhammad, the group’s Chairman and Secretary, respectively.

”The defectors had been working for PDP in many fields but found no political Ideology and focus within the party which made them cease their support and joined APC.

“The new members dumped the PDP following an intervention by one of the APC stakeholders in the state, Alhaji Umaru Tambuwal.”
