Yobe APC harvests new members from deregistered parties
Hundreds of members of some political parties deregistered by the Independent National Electoral commission (INEC) have indicated interest to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Yobe state.
State Chairman of the Inter- Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Alhaji Umar Kukuri, disclosed on Monday in Damatiru.
Kukuri said the Governor Mai Mala Buni administration in the state has attracted many members of other political parties into the APC.

“The Buni administration has accommodated opinions of individual politicians, policies and programmes of most opposition parties thereby making the movement much easier.
“While some are still contemplating on where to go, most of the members have decided to go with the APC.
“Our luck in Yobe state is that the Buni administration is implementing progressive policies and programmes aimed at improving the lives of our people and this is what we in other parties have been agitating,” he said.
The chairman highlighted the political sanity instituted by Gov. Buni as well as policies and projects being executed by the APC government.
Kukuri urged the political parties to accommodate new members, saying that “you should give the new members a sense of belonging for democracy to thrive in Nigeria.”
