Celebrations As Adamu Garba's Father Dumps PDP To Join APC - [Video]

A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken to social media to express his excitement as his biological father dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the nation’s ruling party.

Garba, in a post on his Facebook page on Saturday (today), said his father followed him to APC to support the presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The APC chieftain’s father, who has been a member of the PDP since 1999, has decided to part ways with the opposition party ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Naija News understands that Garba’s father who also goes by the same name as his son was received into the ruling camp on Saturday by APC executives of Yola-North Local Government of Adamawa State.

Garba junior listed those who received his father to include the Adamawa state ALGON chairman, candidate for the office of Adamawa state house of assembly for the APC, Alh. Sulaiman Alkali, Abubakar Jada, among others.

He said the entry of his father into the APC will boost the chances of the party in the state; his Jambutu ward produces the highest amount of votes in the local government area.

The APC chieftain stressed that his father was attracted to the ruling party because of Tinubu and the party’s governorship candidate for Adamawa, Aisha Binani.

See moment Adamu Garba senior was received into APC:

Garba’s statement on his Facebook page reads: “Today, I am the happiest son on earth. My father, an Imam, Qur’anic schoolar, a conservative, who is my name sake Alhaji Garba Adamu, who have been a traditional supporter of PDP since 1999 decided to follow me into APC, after 23 years. Remember, Adamawa is a PDP state, but to my father, his son first, Asiwaju First, Shettima first and Binani first and above all, Nigeria first and foremost.

“I’m very grateful to Allah and to him for bringing all his blessings into my political struggle.

“He was received by APC executives of Yola-North Local Government, including the Adamawa state ALGON chairman, Candidate for the office of Adamawa state house of assembly for the APC, Alh. Sulaiman Alkali, my central coordinator, and Abubakar Jada, among others.

“It is worthy of note that Jambutu ward produces the highest amount of votes in our local government, and as a delegate and veteran, my father is the core member holding that ward. The successes of that ward will now officially transfer to APC in the coming 2023 election; we’ll make sure of that Insha Allahu.”
