 According to The National Mirror;

The PDP in Yobe State has claimed that 3000 members of the ruling APC in the state have dumped the party and joined the PDP. The state chairman of the party Alhaji Lawan Gana, Karasuwa who disclosed this to newsmen in his country home in Karasuwa Gaalu noted that the defection of the APC members to the PDP was as a result of the reconciliatory approach recently adopted by the party in the state. According to the chairman, all the 3,000 that defected were from the governor’s home town in Yunusari, Alhaji Ibrahim Gaidam. He noted that Yobe PDP is seriously re-strategizing; adding that part of the strategy is the party’s efforts to reconcile all aggrieved members both within and outside the state. “I am happy to inform you that the party has constituted two committees to reconcile with aggrieved party members. “The two reconciliatory committees are handling reconciliation with aggrieved members outside the state and those within Yobe state and, to scout for new members. “We are happy that soon after the committees commenced work, supporters of other parties are now defecting to the PDP” he said. The Yobe PDP helmsman debunk claims by Yobe state government on lack of federal presence in the state, stressing that a total of over 56 federal projects were currently ongoing in the state under the leadership of Dr. Yerima Ngama, the minister of state for Finance. Karasuwa added that the sterling leadership of Dr. Ngama in the affairs of the party in the state has greatly increased the people’s support and confidence in Federal Government The chairman pointed out that the party will take advantage of the failures of the ruling APC government to woo more support from the people to change the government in 2015. He expressed delight with the renewed support from elders, elites, youth and women to the party, stressing that, “this has rejuvenated and strengthened our hope for the party in the state.

.....I guess this coming weeks/months is going to be dramatic,because there would be a lot of "porting" that is ;movement(defection) from one party to another. #fingersXd
