<\/p>\n

As the 2019 general elections draw nearer, former Bauchi state governor Mallam Isa Yuguda has dumped the Green Party of Nigeria for the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

He defected with about 5000 of his supporters into the ruling party.<\/p>\n

This was disclosed to journalists by his former commissioner for Information and chairman Yuguda Alheri Movement, Alhaji Salisu Barau Wakos at a press conference.<\/p>\n

Wakos stated that Yuguda\u2019s major decision to defect to the APC was to boost support for President Muhanmadu Buhari\u2019s re-election bid and to ensure that the APC wins the 2019 election.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI want to declare that from today henceforth, Yuguda is a bonafide card-carrying member of the APC, including all his supporters in Nigeria. The defection is aimed at giving APC maximum support ahead of 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

The movement reiterated that Yuguda\u2019s defection was done after wide consultations with his political allies, stakeholders as well as his supporters.<\/p>\n

The chairman stressed that the registration of Yuguda\u2019s supporters into the fold of APC had since commenced nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy this declaration, Yuguda has urged all his supporters to canvass votes for President Buhari and Governor Mohammed Abubakar\u2019s re-election bid come 2019,\u201d Wakos added.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
