The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State has welcomed over 10,000 defectors from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including several local government party chairmen and influential political figures.

The new members were officially received on Tuesday at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi by Governor Nasir Idris, who assured them of equal opportunities and seamless integration into the ruling party.

Addressing the gathering, the governor said the APC remains a party that accommodates everyone and encouraged the defectors to work closely with existing party leaders to further strengthen the party ahead of future elections.

He also appealed to APC leaders across the state to warmly welcome the new entrants and ensure they are fully involved in the party’s activities.

Speaking on behalf of supporters of ADC chieftain Senator Garba Musa Maidoki, Bello Doya explained that the group resolved to join the APC in support of the developmental initiatives of the Idris administration, which he described as transparent and people-centred.

In a separate development, the Chairman of the PDP Local Government Chairmen’s Association in Kebbi State also dumped the party for the APC alongside several other PDP officials.

Speaking on behalf of the PDP defectors, the Chairman of Bunza Local Government Area, Bello Manti, said their decision was influenced by the governor’s performance and his inclusive approach to governance.

Among the notable defectors were the PDP chairmen of Dandi, Koko/Besse, Arewa, Zuru, Ngaski, Yauri, Shanga, Danko-Wasagu, Sakaba and Aliero local government areas.
