INFORMATION NIGERIA reports that the opposition party in the state has witnessed the resignation of big members to the ruling APC in the last few weeks.
Recall that on October 10, 19 councillors and their supporters from the 23 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Kaduna dumped the PDP for the APC.
Announcing their resignation from the PDP at a press conference in the state capital, the councillors said they joined the APC due to the type of purposeful leadership that has been provided by the state governor, Senator Uba Sani, in piloting the affairs of Kaduna State since his assumption of office.
The councillor representing Yelwa ward in Chikun Local Government Area, Ishaku Duchi, who led the other decampees to the APC campaign office, also appealed to the PDP governorship candidate in the 2023 general election, Isah Ashiru, to withdraw his suit challenging the election of Governor Sani at the appeal court, and instead work with the governor to move Kaduna State forward.
