Sani Ahmad Haruna (Wakilin Arewan Gombe), has welcomed a large group of defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking at the event, Barr. Sani Haruna praised the new members for what he described as a bold choice.

Also addressing the gathering, the Special Adviser on Security to the Governor, Hon. Abubakar Aminu Musa (Talban Herwagana), called the defection “a major step towards consolidating political unity and enhancing grassroots participation in governance.”
Some defectors said they were impressed by Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya’s leadership style and the APC’s development achievements at both state and national levels. They cited these as the main reasons for switching parties.
The event drew party stakeholders, ward councillors, and a large crowd of supporters, ending with calls for collective efforts to strengthen APC’s presence ahead of future elections.
