Alhaji Sani Adamu (Yarin Fika), a renowned chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Yobe state, has dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Adamu announced his defection at a ceremony in Damaturu, saying he was attracted into APC by Governor Mala Buni’s commitment to developing the state. He assured to bring his contribution to support the governor’s success story in the state. 

The former PDP strongman said all his supporters in Zone B senatorial zone of the state have transferred their loyalty to the APC.

“I want you to mark my words, PDP and any other form of opposition in Yobe State is dead” he said.

The Yobe State Chairman of APC, Alhaji Mohammed Gadaka described the defection of Adamu as a big catch for APC.

“We value this defection, we will support you and give you a sense of belonging with the opportunities enjoyed by all members of the party,” he said. 

Governor Buni welcomed Adamu and his supporters saying, their membership is equivalent to that of every member of the party.

Buni said Adamu’s defection would  improve the fortunes of APC in Potiskum, Zone B and the state in general.
