Breaking News: PDP Campaign DG Defects To APC, Meets President Buhari 3

Alhaji Bala Bello Tinka (alias Tinka Point), the Director General of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign organization in Gombe State has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He met with President Muhammadu Buhari at State House, Abuja, on Friday night, where he pledged allegiance to the APC, and also vowed to bring his political weight to bear on the election of the President for a second term in office.

This was made known in a short statement released by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Friday night.

“Coming exactly a fortnight to the presidential election, the defection of Alhaji Tinka deals a massive blow to the PDP in Gombe. PDP currently governs the state, and has done so since 2003”, the statement added

“President Muhammadu Buhari campaigns in Gombe Saturday, and Alhaji Tinka is expected to formally join the APC, alongside others, during the event.”

Coming exactly a fortnight to the presidential election, the defection of Alhaji Tinka deals a massive blow to the PDP in Gombe. PDP currently governs the state and has done so since 2003.
