The All Progressives Congress (APC) has received into the party high ranking politicians who switched allegiance mainly from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
They included two former governors of Bauchi state, Alhaji Adamu Muazu and Mallam Isa Yuguda, a former deputy governor Abdulmalik Mahmood, as well as Senators Abubakar Maikafi and Babayo Gamawa.
The defectors were handed over to Adams Oshiomhole by the APC chairman in the state, Alhaji Uba Nana, during the party’s presidential rally in the state.
Speaking at the rally, President Muhammadu Buhari said he is happy at the success story from the agricultural sector under his administration.
“The last two rainy seasons recorded in the last two years in the country as a result of which farmers recorded bumper harvest, were gifts from God,” he told a massive crowd of supporters
“Nigerians who heeded to my call for them to go back to farm, had no cause to regret,” he said.
Buhari promised that if re-elected for a second term, he would ensure that all existing agricultural programmes initiated by his administration, were sustained to ensure food security.
He expressed delight that the agricultural programme had reduced mass importation of food items.
He also expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the anti graft war embarked upon by his adminstration, saying it had yielded dividends.
The president reiterated the commitment of his administration to protect public treasury and ensure that looters were prosecuted according to the law of the land.
