Former Gombe PDP women leader, Ex-commissioner, others defect to APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gombe State has received prominent stalwarts of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who defected to the ruling party.

The defectors include Hajiya Hannatu Wakil, who served as PDP State Women Leader for eight years and later as State Organising Secretary, former Commissioner, Hajiya Asabe Baba Nahaya, former Special Adviser, Hon. Sarki Alban, and Hon. Yila Y. Mustafa, who contested the Balanga/Billiri Federal Constituency seat on the platform of the PDP in the 2011 and 2015 general elections.

They declared support for the APC’s 2027 governorship candidate in the state, Dr. Jamilu Isyaku Gwamna.

Gwamna’s camp welcomed the defectors, describing the move as a major consolidation for the APC and a further affirmation of the growing public confidence in Dr. Gwamna’s aspiration to lead Gombe State in 2027.

Recall that recently, the former national treasurer of the PDP, Hon. Ahmed Yayari dumped the party and joined Gwamna’s campaign team.
