Earlier, the APC Chairman in FCT, Alhaji Abdulmalik Usman, revealed that some of the decampees are founding members of the All Progressives Congress before they jumped ship.
“Today, we are here to make another history, the history of receiving our brothers, some of whom we started this party together.
“Our brothers and sisters whom we struggled hard to form this party at that time. So it is welcome back home for these members sitting here today.
“We are here to receive these people back home. They travelled somewhere and they said the atmosphere there is not conducive for them.
“Coming back home, they are back to meet their brothers and sisters in good health and we have nothing against them than to receive them back to their house.
“We are not here to campaign because we don’t want anybody to indict our party,” he said.
Usman expressed the confidence that come February 12, 2022, the APC would win the entire six area councils and the 62 wards in the nation’s capital.
Responding on behalf of the decampees, Mr Usman Jiya, former APGA aspirant, assured party faithful that their return to APC was to consolidate on the achievements recorded by the incumbent chairman of Kwali area council.
Jiya assured all members of their dedication and team spirit in the forthcoming area councils poll.
The highpoint of the event was the presentation of symbolic broom to the leaders of the decampees by the FCT Minister of State and the party chairman.
Other decampees include Salihu Kolo, former State PDP Deputy Chairman, Mr Habila Bwaba, former PDP State Vice Chairman, Maimunat Adamu, amongst others.
