Ganduje received ex-NNPP national chairman, guber candidates to APC
Alkali, who spoke on behalf of the defector, said they joined the APC because it is the ruling party, adding that the party was the best vehicle for political progress.
He said:
“Today, we have all decided to move forward with the APC. In our view, with the new mood in the country, both His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the new leadership of the party under your able and distinguished Chairmanship, both of you veteran politicians, APC has shifted the gear and you have also opened a new page in the history of party politics in the country that is more welcoming and more accommodating."
The defection of the NNPP and PDP members were the latest of its kind as the ruling APC continued to receive defectors from the opposition camps.

Nwaeze Onu, the NNPP acting deputy national chairman, said the party did not challenge the outcome of the 2023 presidential election in court because of its love for Nigeria.
Onu explained that the NNPP was not in court with President Tinubu and would not like to be an interloper in a case that did not concern it.
