Musa Kwankwaso 

Thousands of supporters of former Kano State Governor, Musa Kwankwaso yesterday dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) to join their principal in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State.

Kwankwaso handed them over to the Chairman of PDP in Rivers, Bro. Felix Obuah at a ceremony held at the party’s Secretariat along Aba Road in Port Harcourt.

The Senator described his group as a grassroots movement which cut across all the units, wards, local government and states in the country.

He said the Kwankwasiya Nigeria movement began intensive registration of members nationwide in 2016, adding that their online registration was almost 300,000.

The former Minister of Defence appealed to his followers to ensure they beat the INEC voters’ registration deadline so as to obtain their Permanent Voters Cards.

“It is not enough to have your Kwankwasiya Nigeria identity card, ensure to have your PVC because without that in place, all this struggle to boot out this bad government would be in vain”, he said.

Speaking, Obuah thanked the decampees for their decision to join the PDP.

He said: “Now that you have joined our leader back to his home, I assure you will get all the respect and privileges due you”.
