 No fewer than 19,000 members of the ruling People's Democratic Party in Madagali, local government of Adamawa State have defected to the all-progressive Congress while receiving the defectors led by the former chief of staff to Governor Balak Mengari, the state chairman of APC Ibrahim Bilal expressed confidence in APC's victory. Madagali is the country home base of the incumbent governor but has lost prominent politicians from the PDP to APC as a result of the fallout of the 2019 governorship election that brought him to power. Today is a joyous moment for the APC family in Adamawa State because having Honorable Shubardo Babi Tijani out of the PDP and finally joining the APC in his Madagali world of Madagali local government signifies a very good opportunity for the APC to take over Adamawa State in 2023. We all know the government of Adamawa State is from Madagali and that has not stopped prominent sons and daughters of Madagali from defecting from PDP to join APC. This is a signal that the APC is ready and has started the journey of taking over Adamawa Government House in 2023 from Madagali local government. As you can see we are in Madagali this afternoon to receive a very big fish into our port that is the APC. He is a former chairman, two times chancellor of Madagali local government. He is the former chief of staff to Adamawa State Governor, former Adamawa State Governor Balajev Ngilari during his tenure around 2014 and he is a big player in the local politics as what you can see in Madagali here and this is the local government of the Incuban government. If all these people can gather without giving them any monetary value we just maybe a day or two invitation that is going to join the APC. You can see the crowd, I think the crowd has spoken well and we are confident that the APC will take over. So that's why we are so happy. Coincidentally we started taking the campus from our border with Morno State so Madagali is the last local government from here we go together with Morno State. So we are happy and the crowd has spoken and the voices of the people he said is the voice of God. So we are happy we are taking over. These are my people they welcome me to APC. I've never been to any political party other than the PDP since 1999 but I've realized that no matter how well you feel about it will remain about. You know we invested so much in the PDP but we are not recognized. Therefore we decided to shift our base from the PDP to the APC.
