Ahead of 2027 general election, scores of All Progressive Congress (APC) members in Giade LGA have dumped the party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which is in power in Bauchi state. .

The defectors in their thousands were officially received and welcomed into the party by the State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Muhammad, at government house Bauchi

The defectors led by one time member of Bauchi State House of Assembly, Hon. Adamu Bello, a prominent political figure from the area who recently defected from the APC.

The event, which took place at the Government House in Bauchi, saw the new PDP members warmly welcomed by the Governor, who praised their decision to join the party.

Senator Bala Muhammad expressed his commitment to providing a level playing field for all party members, assuring them that they would be given equal opportunities without bias or favouritism.

The governor also said during the meeting that, “As your leader, I will ensure that you are given the necessary support to thrive within the party, and together, we will continue to work towards the development of our state.”

Hon. Adamu Bello, who led the decampees while speaking, expressed gratitude to Governor Muhammad for his warm reception and recognition of their political transition

Hon.Adamu Bello noted that the decision to move to the PDP was driven by a shared vision for the future of Bauchi State, one that prioritises development, unity, and progress for all its citizens.
