The All Progressives Congress APC has lost followers and political influentials in Giade local government area of Bauchi State where it's Gubernatorial Candidate for 2023 elections Air Marshal Sadiq Baba Abubakar retired claims indigeneship.
Similarly, the Local Government's Auditor of New Nigeria People's Party NNPP Danlami Mai Lemo alongside some members of Party defected to the incumbent Governor Bala Mohammed's Peoples Democratic Party PDP.
Announcing their position at the venue of Governor Bala's campaign rally, a Chieftain of the APC Shehu Magaji who led dozens of the party's members argued that they were convinced to join PDP by the Governor's quality of leadership.
According to him, the APC Gubernatorial Candidate Air Marshal Sadiq Baba Abubakar only claimed indigeneship of the local government without facilitating any developmental projects or providing employment opportunities to the indigenes when he was at the helm of affairs of the Nigerian Air Force NAF as Chief of Air Staff.
He highlighted some of the completed and ongoing projects in the area executed under Governor Bala Mohammed led administration to include construction of Giade, Kurba to Basirka road, construction and renovation of blocks of classrooms and healthcare centers across the Local Government.
Receiving the defectors, Governor Bala Mohammed expressed hope that their coming to PDP at the material time would add value to his campaign across the local government.
Bala Mohammed said he was overwhelmed by the mammoth crowd that received him regardless of the indigeneship being claimed by his strong opponent.
