The PDP Governorship candidate boasted that, with the calibre of people moving to the party, APC will be dead and buried in 2023.

Leaders of the defectors, Aminu Maye Jibiya and Sa’adu Maigishiri Kaita said the injustice meted unto them and the calibre of people leaving the APC in the last few days, made them to join the party.

Thousands of brooms were later burnt by the defectors to signify their exit from the APC.
