Newsmen understand that the NNPP Gombe State Chairman, Maikano Umar on Friday dumped the party for the ruling APC in the state.
Umar was learned to have made the announcement of his defection when he visited the state governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya at his residence on Friday.
Newsmen recall that similarly, some executives of the party in Zamfara State also defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) last week.
It was gathered that the NNPP’s Northeast Zonal Secretary and member of Kwankwaso’s council Babayo Liman, alongside 17 local government executives, dumped the party for the PDP.
This is as Liman disclosed the recent development at a media briefing held at NUJ Secretariat in Damaturu.
According to him, he was resigning his appointment to join the PDP to support its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar because the NNPP has no structure in the zone.
The former NNPP council member alleged the party lacks a vibrant party structure to confront the numerous internal crises at state chapters of the party and also to face the upcoming general elections.
