 More than 50,000 members of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, the all-progressive Grand Alliance ABGA, and other parties have defected to the all-progressive Congress, APC, in Tarabah. A member of the National Board of Trustees of APC, Professor Dalhatu Sangari, received the defectors in Wukari at a grand ceremony. Sangari said that the defectors came from the 52 political wards in southern Senatoria zone of the state. He said that the occasion was a major milestone in a party's efforts to take over leadership in the state as the defection was unprecedented and unique.
