Niger State PDP Gubernatorial Candidate Survives Set Back As Campaign Coordinator Defects To APC

The gubernatorial aspiration of Niger State People Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the 2015 election, Alhaji Umar Nasko has suffered a little set back, following the decision of his campaign coordinator in Shiroro Local Government Area of the state, Alhaji Akilu Kuta, to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Kuta, who is also a former vice chairman of the Local Government Area, on the platform of PDP, announced his defection from the party on Wednesday, at the APC governorship rally in Kuta, explaining that he left PDP with 1,500 supporters to join the opposition party.

He said, "Over the years there has not been any development in the local governments under this administration. During the time of former Governor Abdulkadir Kure, local governments executed people oriented projects but that is not the case now."

"Local governments are not performing in this administration and that is the reason for us to quit the PDP."

Receiving the defectors, the state leader of APC and deputy governor of Niger state, Alhaji Ahmed Musa Ibeto urged the people to vote for all the candidates of APC in the election.

He described APC as the only party that will bring true development to the state adding that people should vote wisely in the election and vote out the PDP government at all levels.

The Deputy governor advised the people especially the youths to avoid violence during and after the election, adding that they must maintain peace even in the face of provocation.

He advised the people not to sell their PVCs insisting that they should shun those wanting to influence their votes with money.

Addressing the rally, the state APC governorship candidate, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello promised to develop the state and the area in particular if voted into office.

He urged the people to vote APC into power in order to wipe out poverty and corruption adding that his administration would fix the infrastructural decay in the state including the bad roads.
