The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate in the 2019 and 2023 elections for Ringim/Taura Federal Constituency, Hon. Gambo Ibrahim Gujungu, has defected to the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, along with his supporters.
Hon. Gujungu had earlier tendered his resignation letter to the PDP and had not stated his decision to join any political party.
Gujungu officially announced his defection at an APC gathering held in his hometown, Gujungu Town, in Taura Local Government Area.
Receiving the decampees on behalf of the governor, Speaker of the Jigawa State House of Assembly, Hon Haruna Aliyu Dangyatin, said the party is ready to welcome opposition members into its fold.
He noted that the recent mass defection of opposition party members is a result of the good policies and programmes of the party at both national and state levels.
He, therefore, commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Umar Namadi for the effective implementation of people-oriented policies under the APC-led administration.
The Speaker, however, welcomed Hon. Gujungu and his followers into the APC fold as a major boost to the party’s strength in Ringim/Taura Federal Constituency.
Speaking at the event, Hon. Gambo Ibrahim Gujungu said his decision to join the APC was driven by his desire to contribute to and benefit from the developmental strides being recorded by the APC-led governments at both the state and federal levels.
