The groups promised to work hard in dispelling the propaganda being spread that the APC is a Muslim Party because of its Muslim-Muslim ticket, just as they presented to his Excellency some of its exploits, a group of non-indigenes who imbibed the spirit of the campaign.
Responding, Governor Bello Mohammed commended all of them for their foresight in abandoning what he described as the sinking ship. He said that he was coming from that Party who’s pride was his support to it and now that he is no longer there, every real politician will eventually join him in the APC.

He urged all and sundry to elect the APC from top to buttom in next year’s general elections.
