Breaking: NNPP guber candidate dumps party, joins PDP
The 2023 governorship candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Gombe State, Khamisu Mailantarki on Saturday joined the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
This move comes after Mailantarki resigned from NNPP in July this year, but didn’t immediately join another party.
Speaking during his reception ceremony at the party’s secretariat, Mailantarki said he joined PDP to help revitalise the party to unseat the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration in the state in 2027.
Mailantarki alleged that APC government at the federal and state level has failed woefully in delivering good governance opining that PDP is the only strong party capable of seizing power from the APC, hence his decision to join it after quitting NNPP.
He berated the state governor Inuwa Yahaya over some of ‘his administration’s uncompassionate policies such as revoking of lands titles and compelling civil servants to undergo biometric registration everyday at their workplaces, failure of which they are not eligible for salary payment’.
According to him, it is unfair to force workers to go to work five times a day under this period of economic hardship without commensurate salary.
Also speaking, the state PDP chairman Abnor Kwaskebe who received the governorship candidate said his defection was a huge success for the party and promised all members level playing ground.
