Speaking at the event, Geda said his decision to join the ruling party in the state was influenced by what he described as the leadership style and policies of Governor Nasir Idris.

He stated that he was ready to work with APC members and support the party ahead of future political activities in Kebbi State.

The former aspirant also pledged to mobilise support for the governor and strengthen the APC’s presence in the state.

“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,” he said.

Geda further called for greater cooperation among political stakeholders, stressing that unity and inclusiveness were essential for the development of the state’s political environment.

He urged his supporters to collaborate with APC members in their respective communities to contribute to the party’s success.

Receiving Geda and his supporters into the APC, Governor Nasir Idris welcomed them and assured them of equal opportunities within the party.

The governor said the APC would continue to accommodate individuals willing to contribute to the development of Kebbi State.

He added that the party remained open to those ready to actively participate in its activities and support government programmes.

APC officials at the event described the defection as a boost to the party’s strength and growing influence in the state.

They said Geda’s move reflected increasing confidence in Governor Idris’ leadership.

The event was attended by party leaders, government officials, youth groups, and supporters from various parts of Kebbi State.
