The leadership of the PDP in Jigawa state has been dealt a huge blow following the mass exodus of its supporters to the ruling party.

No fewer than 370,000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Jigawa have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The National Chairman of APC and eight governors on the party’s platform, received the defectors in Dutse on Sunday, amid jubilation

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the governors present at the occasion were Bindo Jibrila (Adamawa), Abubakar Bello (Niger), Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), and Bello Masari (Katsina).

Others were Muhammed Abubakar (Bauchi), Kasim Shetima (Borno), Abdulazeez Yari (Zamfara), and Hafiz Abubakar, Deputy Governor of Kano State.

Receiving defectors, the National Chairman of APC, John Oyegun, said the calibre of the defectors was an indication that APC was on the right track.

Mr. Oyegun said that anyone who truly loved Nigeria and believed in the leadership of President Muhammad Buhari to lead the country to path of greatness was always welcome to the party.

He commended Governor Muhammad Badaru for his good leadership in the state which he said led to the harvest of former PDP chieftains in the state.
