Abubakar quoted Waziri as saying, “we decided to leave the party as its leaders had failed to take us to the promised land.
“Our exit from PDP is a sign of victory for APC because of its acceptability across the board.”
Waziri said that as they joined APC, “more PDP members are on the verge of migrating to it.”

Receiving the defectors, Aliyu told them that they will be carried along like other members of the party.
