Over 5,000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in
Kaduna State are said to have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC)
ahead of Saturday’s governorship and House of Assembly elections.
The defectors were received by the Vice-President-elect,
Professor Yemi Osinbajo.
A statement issued by the spokesman of the APC Governorship
Campaign Organisation in the state, Mr. Samuel Aruwan, noted that the defectors
were received in the southern part of the state by Prof. Osinbajo during a
stakeholders meeting ahead of the election.
The statement quoted Prof. Osinbajo as saying the “PDP
government did great harm to the nation, using religion and playing divisive
politics during its 16-year rule”.
Prof. Osinbajo also urged the people to work hard in order to
bring about a rebirth of a new Nigeria where freedom of religion, law and order
will be entrenched for collective good.
