Mass Defection Hits Borno Politics as Key Figures Join APC

By: Our Reporter

In a significant political development, the Deputy National Chairman (North) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Dr. Ali Bukar Dalori, in the company of the Speaker of the Borno State House of Assembly, the APC State Chairman, and other notable party leaders across the state, formally received a large number of defectors members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from Northern Borno.

The defectors, led by Hon. Isa Lawan (Kangar), a former member of the House of Representatives and PDP senatorial candidate in the 2023 general elections, declared their decision to join the APC as a demonstration of confidence in the visionary leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Babagana Umara Zulum, as well as the unifying role played by the party’s leadership at both the state and national levels.

In his remarks, Hon. Dr. Ali Bukar Dalori warmly welcomed the new members into the APC family, assuring them of equal opportunities and a level playing ground. He emphasized that the APC remains the only truly progressive platform that guarantees development, unity, and prosperity for the people of Borno State and Nigeria at large.

Also speaking, the Speaker of the Borno State House of Assembly and the APC State Chairman commended the courage of the defectors for making what they described as the right political choice, stressing that their return further strengthens the party’s grassroots structure and consolidates its dominance in Borno State.

Hon. Isa Lawan, speaking on behalf of the decampees, expressed gratitude for the warm reception accorded to them. He noted that their decision to leave the PDP was borne out of genuine conviction that the APC represents the hope and aspirations of the people, especially with its renewed focus on good governance, inclusiveness, and sustainable development.

With this mass defection, the APC in Borno North has further broadened its base and reinforced its position as the party of choice ahead of future political engagements.
