Over 2,000 officials and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Guzamala Local Government Area of Borno State.
The officials, who stormed the Government House, Maiduguri, said their council area had lost much.
Declaring their loyalty before the state’s party leader, Governor Kashim Shettima, the defectors maintained that they moved out of the PDP on their own.
They said: “We had to come to pay our allegiance to your party because we need basic things, which our former party could not bring to our people, despite the federal connections.
“Mr. Governor, we need development and we know we will get loads of it from your party.
“We are here on our own and not at the prompting of anybody.”
Shettima assured them that the APC was the real home of progressives, who were out to make life better for the electorate.
He said as soon as possible boreholes would be sunk for them to ameliorate their drinking water problem.
