He informed the defectors that they have equal rights and opportunities like any other member to contribute to the development of Nigeria.

The former PDP Deputy chairman said they had no reason remaining in PDP and apologised for the delay.

“In fact, we had no reason being in PDP because our leader and Chairman of APC needs the support for political stability in Nigeria,” Amale said.

He commended governor Buni for his selfless contribution to Nigeria’s growth and development.
