The Governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party in Gombe State during the 2023 general election, Khamisu Mailantarki, on Saturday, joined the Peoples Democratic Party.
Mailantarki, who tendered his resignation from NNPP three months ago decided to Join the People’s Democratic Party ( PDP) with the hope of contributing his quota towards the development of the party in Gombe State.
Speaking at the party secretariat during his reception ceremony, Mailantarki said “I joined the PDP to enhance the party’s chances, adding that his entry would help the main opposition party unseat the All Progressives Congress administration in the state in 2027.
He however decried the unfavourable policies of the APC- led Government at both Federal and State levels, adding that they have failed miserably in delivering good governance.
“PDP is the only strong party capable of seizing power from the APC, which is the reason for my decision to join it after quitting the NNPP,” Mailantarki said.
While lambasting Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Yahaya, Mailantarki added, “Some of his administration’s uncompassionate policies, such as revoking land titles and compelling civil servants to undergo biometric registration every day at their workplaces, failure of which would render them ineligible for salary payment, are unacceptable.”
According to the former NNPP Gubernatorial candidate, ” it was unfair for the State Civil Servants to go to work five times a week during this period of economic hardship without a commensurate salary.
Responding, the Gombe State PDP chairman, Abner Kwaskebe who received the governorship candidate, commended Mailantarki’s bold step.
“Mailantarki’s defection is a huge success for the party, and we promise all members a level playing field,” he added.
