The Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has said that more governors from Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will join the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC in the coming weeks.
Yahaya Bello stated this while addressing journalists at the APC National Secretariat shortly after a meeting of the APC Strategy and Contact Committee.
Governor Bello who spoke on behalf of the Chairman of the committee, Governor Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa state said Governors from the opposition party know that things are happening in APC.
“You know, I have a committee that is called Mobilisation of Youths, Women and People Living with Disabilities. We have been mobilizing them to join our party.
“As much as we are mobilising youths, women and people living with disabilities, we are equally mobilising members of other political parties, including Governors.

“Remember, there are others that are youthful and those that are youthful in hearts so we are bringing them into the party. You will see them in numbers.
“I told you that it is only one last Governor that will be the last one to join our party and you know everybody is coming into the party because this is where things are happening and this is the party that is moving the country forward. That is why you see us strong and we are waxing stronger and moving forward in unison,” he said.
Speaking on the outcome of the meeting, Governor Bello said 17 sub-committees have been formed within the main committee to enable them to come out with more engagements for the next meeting.
The Governor added that there will be periodic reports to the party because it is a standing Committee and not an Ad-hoc Committee.
