Thousands of supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state who decamped to the Peoples Democratic Party were received by Mr Atiku.

From the Yola international Airport he proceeded to the Lamido of Adamawa’s Palace for a courtesy call before heading for the mega rally where thousands of APC supporters, including two state lawmakers decided to defect to the PDP.

In his remarks, the national chairman of the PDP Iyorchia Ayu, while receiving the decampees, assured them a level playing ground.

Governor of Adamawa State, Umaru Fintiri, said PDP in Adamawa has delivered on its campaign promises and will do more.
