The decampees were received by the APC national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole at the campaign venue, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium.
Oshiomhole while welcoming the decampees said that they have made a wise decision to join the party at a time when there is need to support President Buhari’s re-election which will ensure continuity with the good work he has started to make the country better.
He urged them to support the APC to win elections at all levels and to help the president steer the affairs of the country without much challenges.
Speaking on behalf of the decampees, former Bauchi state governor, Mallam Insha Yuguda said that the decampees have been in other parties but have now decided to jettison their personal interests and support President Buhari in his effort to rebuild the country after years of wanton profligacy by the PDP.
