“With the number of decampees I received into our great party today in Katsina, we can say without fear that PDP is dead and buried and can’t recapture Nigeria again come 2019.
“A party where virtually all their bigwigs, Senator Ibrahim Ida and host of others had deserted because they have seen the light and are now in the fold of APC; so you can see that PDP is weak even in Katsina state.”
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie Oyegun spoke today, Saturday at a grand rally and reception of over 300,000 decampees from other political parties into APC, said PDP. They include Senator Ibrahim Muhammad Ida, former PDP Senator representing Katsina central, Hon. Ya’u Umar Gwojo Gwojo, two terms Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Bature Umar Masari, 2015 PDP Campaign Director General, Dr. Yusha’u Armiya’u.
Chief Oyegun said: “I have been receiving lots of decampees in other states of the federation but the ones I received today are the best considering their reputations”.
The APC chairman said that the federal government, under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, has generated about 7000 MWs of electricity within three years, stressing that the president had repositioned the power sector and agriculture via meaningful projects.
“When we came on board we meet 3000 MWs of electricity, but the president has increased it to 7000 MWs within a shortest period of time. On agriculture, Buhari has made the sector almost self-sufficient for everyone”.
Earlier in a welcome address at the occasion, the state Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, said that PDP had been completely decimated and have no capacity to make any impact in the governorship and Presidential elections, let alone winning them. [myad]
