Governor Nasir Idris and more than 2,000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi on Tuesday defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The defectors were formally received on Tuesday by the State APC Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kana-Zuru in Birnin Kebbi.
Speaking on behalf of the defectors, the former PDP House of Assembly candidate, Alhaji Arzika Lawal, said their decision was driven by Gov. Nasir Idris’ giant strides in securing the locality.

“We are more than 2,000 PDP members leaving the party to join the APC in recognition of the Governor’s tireless efforts in bringing back a safe environment to Danko-Wasagu,” he said.
Lawal praised the Governor for facilitating the release of the students abducted from the Government Girls’ Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, describing his intervention as swift and compassionate.
He, however, appealed to the APC leadership to caution some aides of the governor, decrying that they were not reflecting the governor’s compassionate style of governance.
“Some of the governor’s aides are not following his footprints.
“They are not helping their people, and the party must bring them to order,” he said.
