The ranks of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Niger State were at last weekend blossomed when two prominent political figures-one of them, the governorship candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Alhaji Isah Kawu, defected to the party.
A former Secretary to the State Government (SSG) during the administration of Governor Muazu Babangida Aliyu, Professor Mohammed Yahaya Kuta, also defected to the APC in the state at the weekend.
They are among “several others who joined the APC at a special stakeholders meeting” held at the Government House in Minna last Saturday.
A report from the meeting did not disclose the reasons why the duo and others defected to the APC, but explained that “it is a good omen for the party in the state.”
