PDP BY NAN An estimated 6,000 members of the All
Progressives Congress in Wamakko Local
Government Area of Sokoto State on Thursday
defected to the Peoples Democratic Party. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the
defectors were received in Wamakko by Alhaji
Ibrahim Milgoma, Chairman of PDP in Sokoto
State. Governor Aliyu Wamakko is from the local
government. The spokesman for the defectors, Alhaji
Abubakar Gedawa, said they joined the PDP to
get justice and equity. “We defected to the PDP from APC to ensure
the success of the PDP at all levels in the
upcoming general elections,” Gedawa said. The governorship candidate of the PDP in the
state, Senator Abdallah Wali, promised that he
would ensure justice and equity in the state if
elected. A former governor of the state, Attahiru
Bafarawa, called on the people of the area to
vote massively for the PDP during the polls. “I did my best to develop the local government
when I was the governor of the state and Wali
will continue from where I stopped, if elected
as governor,” he said. On his part, Milgoma said the leadership of the

party would do its best to ensure that the APC-
led state government was voted out of office
on February 14. “The PDP will sweep the forthcoming elections
in the state and across Nigeria,” Milgoma, said.
