Mustapha who said he defected since Thursday the 7th of March added that his continuous stay in the party despite the injustices will amount to doing injustice to his supporters.
He said:” I defected to APC because of injustice and deciet in Borno PDP. 24hours to the election, you cannot feel the presence of PDP with no campaign even days before the election. PDP has a flag bearer , but he has since remained mute without campaingning , which means a deciet on the people. It really means that the candidate is deceiving people.
” The result of my defection with others will be reflected in the ballot box tomorrow. I call on other members of PDP to come and join progressives to move Borno to the next level,” Baba Ahmed Mustapha, the decampee said.
