Leading the defectors was former Deputy Senate Majority Leader, Jonathan Zwingina. Others were a former Minister of External Affairs, Idi Hong, and two serving Senators, Bello Tukur and Ahmed Barata, as well as Sadiq Haske, Pm News reports.
They announced their defection at a press conference in Yola today. Zwingina, who spoke on behalf of the defectors, said they decided to pitch their tent with the APC to support the party’s governorship candidate, Bindow Jibrilla.“We are positive of the change going on now in the country; we believe in the candidacy of Bindow,” he said.
Zwingina and Hong lost in their bid to represent Adamawa Central and Southern district in the National Assembly elections held on March 28.
Earlier in the day they met with the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, who was in Yola to campaign for the APC.
