The presidential aspiration of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, hit a brick wall as two members in the Gombe State House of Assembly defected to the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP).
The lawmakers, Hamza Adamu and Bappah Usman Jurara, announced their defection from the APC to the opposition party on Saturday, December 10.
The lawmakers representing Balanga South and Funakaye South respectively revealed why they took the decision to defect to the NNPP
The two decamped to the NNPP after meeting with the party’s gubernatorial candidate, Khamisu Ahmed Mailantarki.
According to report available to newsmen, their defection was announced barely hours before the flagging off of the 2023 election campaign slated for Saturday by Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya.
