<p>A former aspirant for the House of Representatives seat representing Birnin Kebbi, Kalgo and Bunza Federal Constituency under the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Bashar Geda, has defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kebbi State.</p>
<p>Geda formally announced his defection on Saturday during a gathering attended by supporters, party members and political stakeholders in Birnin Kebbi.</p>
<p>Speaking at the event, the former ADC aspirant said his decision to join the APC was influenced by what he described as the leadership style and policies of the Kebbi State Government under Governor Nasir Idris.</p>
<p>He pledged to support the APC and work with party members ahead of future political activities in the state.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have less than eight months to the general elections. I will remain in Birnin Kebbi to mobilise support and ensure victory for Governor Idris,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Geda also called for greater political cooperation among stakeholders, stressing the need for unity and inclusiveness in the state&#8217;s political process.</p>
<p>Governor Nasir Idris, who received the defectors, welcomed Geda and his supporters into the APC, assuring them of equal opportunities within the party.</p>
<p>The governor said the APC remained open to individuals willing to contribute to the development of the state and participate in its political activities.</p>
<p>Some APC officials who spoke at the gathering described Geda&#8217;s defection as a boost to the party&#8217;s membership in the state.</p>
<p>The event was attended by party leaders, government officials, youth groups and supporters from different parts of Kebbi State.</p>
