The Peoples Democratic Party has received 1,615 card-carrying members of the All Progressives Congress in Toungo Local Government Area of Adamawa State, on Saturday.
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 seven years, we cannot reckon with any tangible thing the party has achieved under Buhari more than worsening insecurity, stagnation and poverty.
That is why we beckoned on our children and family members, to retrace their steps as a show of appreciation for the progress we have seen in Toungo because this council has been in darkness since its creation over 30 years ago before the PDP administration of Governor Fintiri reconnected the council to the national grid. We are not ingrates, because what the administration has done is a debt, we must repay with our votes and support.
Shehu, while receiving the defectors, said the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has asked that he will like to shake hands with the 1,615 new members, who have demonstrated courage in protesting against bad governance. Shehu said the standard protocol was for the party to receive them at the ward level which the party has done.
He, however, added, “Atiku has asked the party to make sure 1,615 of you, who left the party from Toungo, are brought to his mega rally in Yola, on August 15, to celebrate his emergence as the PDP presidential flagbearer, because he would like to shake hands with you.”
