“The publication revealed that 34 NNPP local government chairmen have defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“The defection, as it was reported, was through the former Secretary to the state government, Alhaji Mustapha Inuwa, in Katsina State.
“It is on record, however, that some of our chairmen, after the 2023 presidential elections, defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC).
“Thus, these same people are the ones who defected to the ADC from the APC. Therefore, their defection was from APC, not from NNPP.”
