It appears the resolved by All Progressives Congress, APC, to take over Nigeria's political landscape is not an empty boast as the broom revolution started the new year 2014 on a very high note. As you read this, another batch of 2,300 chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have defected to the APC in Kaduna State in Vice President Namadi Sambo's stronghold. "We have the Vice President and Governor but nothing is happening in Kaduna state despite the loan being collected for the state. We don’t even know what they are using the loan for because they have nothing show in the state."
This is just a day after the ruling party lost about 1,200 members from the vice president’s council area to the APC.The 2,300 PDP members who joined the APC are from Kaduna South local government, a local government located in the heart of the state capital.It was gathered that among the defectors are five serving and eight former councillors in the council.Receiving the defectors at the APC state secretarial, APC’s interim chairman, Dr Hakeem Baba Ahmed, said the party will continue to receive PDP members who are tired of deceit and want genuine change.Dr Hakeem blasted the Vice president of the country Namadi Sambo and the state governor Muktar Ramalan Yero saying their positions have not in anyway benefited the people of the state.
Leader of the PDP defectors in the state and former Chairman of PDP, Alhaji Audi Yaro Makama said they have long been in the ruling party without the party benefiting the state and country in general as he promised that come 2015 PDP will be no more in the state."We want our children to be proud of us some day and we cannot remain in a party that has failed to deliver the dividends of democracy to its citizens. Those who think we cannot deliver they should wait and see during the 2015 election if PDP will make it,” he said.
