In a three paragraph release and signed by the 15 defectors, including State Deputy Chairman, Habu Hamman, State Secretary, Malam Gana Radu, State Women Leader, Hajia Fati Kakenna, Youth Leader, Nuhu Clark, State Treasurer, Audu Walima, among others said, “We the Borno State Executive Committee members of People Democratic Party (PDP) in Borno State have voluntary resigned and withdraw our membership from the party and shifted our loyalty to All Progressive Congress (APC) under the leadership of the Executive Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State.”
Other officers who joined the defectors include, State organising Secretary, State Publicity, State Auditor, Assistant Organising Secretary, North, Assistant Organising Secretary, South, Assistant Secretary, Central, Assistant Publicity Secretary, and three Ex-Officios.
