Following its smooth run in Gombe state ahead of the 2023 elections, the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has again welcomed another stalwart of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to its fold.
Gombe PDP Public Relations Officer (PRO) Murtala Usman Dukku joined the party on Wednesday after his resignation from the party.
It could be recalled that Murtala was suspended by the PDP via a letter dated 22nd December 2022, signed by the state PDP secretary, Adamu Abubakar, accusing him of working against the party.
He however resigned from the party barely two hours after his suspension through a letter addressed to the party leadership
A gale of defections from both the ruling APC and the PDP have been hitting the two parties recently.
Gombe Central Zonal Chairman, Engr Musa Gwani Bimason, Assistant State Treasurer of the PDP, Muhammad Yusuf Pindiga had earlier defected to the NNPP few days ago.
Others who defected in recent times were; Hon. Rambi Ayala and Hon Hamza, members representing Billiri East and Funakaye South, respectively.
Gombe and Dukku LGA PDP women leaders, Maryam Muhammad Audi and Asabe Saleh have also dumped the PDP and joined the NNPP.
