The North-East Zonal Secretary of the New Nigeria Peoples
Party, Dr Babayo Liman, and hundreds of his supporters have defected to the
Peoples Democratic Party on Saturday in Gombe State.
Liman disclosed this during an interview with journalists in
Gombe, the state capital, while declaring his unsupport to Atiku Abubakar, PDP
Presidential candidate.
The former NNPP member abandoned his position in the
Presidential Campaign Council of Kwankwaso, stressing that he decided to resign
his appointment with the NNPP and defected to the PDP in order to support the
former Vice President following his track record.
He said, “We registered more than 3.6 million people in the
North-East region under the NNPP and Gombe State is one of the states in my
zone, hence the need for me to go round and inform my supporters that I
defected to the PDP.
“I am resigning my appointment as the North-East Zonal
Secretary of the NNPP, as a member of the Presidential Campaign Council of the
NNPP, and as a coordinator of the Kwankwasiya in the zone.
“We have nothing to
do with the NNPP and Kwankwasiya again; not only me defected, with me here is
the Zonal Public Relations Officer, Ibrahim Tal, who also resigned his
appointment to support Atiku Abubakar with our supporters as you can see.
“I want to seize this opportunity to inform you that we have
more than 600,000 NNPP members in Gombe and we have defected and obtain PDP
membership cards.”
According to him, the presidential candidate of Rabiu
Kwamkwaso, should withdraw from the race and support the candidate of Peoples
Democratic Party Atiku Abubakar.
He disclosed that 16 years of the PDP administration was a
success because of the notable impact.
“Atiku Abubakar has the capacity to salvage the country from its present hardship and dwindling economy following his track record in the past as the Vice President of Nigeria,” he said.
