Alhaji Bala Bello Tinka (alias
Tinka Point), the Director General of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
campaign organisation in Gombe State has defected to the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
He met with President Muhammadu
Buhari at State House, Abuja, on Friday, where he pledged allegiance to the
APC.
Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to
the President
(Media and Publicity), made the
announcement in a statement.
Tinka also vowed to bring his
political weight to bear on the election of the President for a second term in
office.
“Coming exactly a fortnight to
the presidential election, the defection of Alhaji Tinka deals a massive blow
to the PDP in Gombe. PDP currently governs the state, and has done so since
2003”, the statement added
“President Muhammadu Buhari
campaigns in Gombe Saturday, and Alhaji Tinka is expected to formally join the
APC, alongside others, during the event,” he said.
