The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has welcomed over 500 defectors from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Social Democratic Party (SDP), All Progressives Congress (APC), and other parties in Kogi Central Senatorial District.
The defectors were welcomed into the party in a ceremony organized by a House of Representatives aspirant for Adavi/Okehi, Hon. Abdulkabir Okaka Ohiani Itopa, on Sunday.
The ceremony was attended by prominent PDP members, including State Chairman, Hon. Muhammed Sanni Gambo.
Gambo reiterated the PDP’s dominance in the Central senatorial district since 1999 and expressed confidence in the party’s chances of winning more seats in 2027.
He praised Senator Natasha Akpoti-Udaughan’s efforts and urged the people to support the PDP, emphasizing it’s the only party owned by the people.
The defectors, led by Usman Ahmed, cited the PDP as the only party capable of salvaging Kogi State’s current situation.
PDP officials assured a clean sweep in 2027, urging other parties to prepare to hand over to the PDP.
