On his part, permanent member House of Assembly Service Commission, Nasiru Haruna, said the defectors switched party because of the developmental strides of the current administration.

He added that those who have defected were key stakeholders in the PDP, and they would use their structure to advance the chances of Governor Muhammadu Yahaya, especially his second term bid.

Haruna said, “For a very long time, the community has stayed without development, but the government of Yahaya has provided them with access road and other facilities.”

Also Speaking, APC chairman, Dukku local government, Shehu Sa’ad, urged the defectors to feel free to enjoy all the privileges due to members of the ruling party.
