THE Peoples Democratic Party, on Sunday, received 1,615 members of the All Progressives Congress in Toungo Local Government Area of Adamawa State on Saturday.
The presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, is scheduled to “have a handshake” with them during a mega rally scheduled for August 15 in Yola.
Speaking through their representatives, Mustapha Albashir, Alhaji Gana and Yahya Abubakar, they cited worsening insecurity, poverty and economic difficulties they had experienced under the Buhari regime for their actions. Abubakar said, “Our journey into the APC was meaningless, we ganged up to defeat the PDP since 2015, but we have realised we made a mistake. One of the reasons over 1,615 of us decided to come here today, even though we are actually more than 6,000 joining the PDP, is because after 7 years we cannot reckon with any tangible thing the party has achieved under Buhari other than worsening insecurity, stagnation and poverty.
