Mr Magaji Doho, the Interim Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gombe State, speaking with newsmen on Monday in Gombe said that the defection of former Vice President Atiku Abaubakar to APC would strengthen the chances of a victory for the party in 2015.

"The defection of the former Vice President, Turakin Adamawa, Atiku Abaubakar, is long overdue.

"We expected that he is going to come because he is a grassroots politician, a great mobiliser and we feel that his coming on board will definitely move the party forward that will also take us to victory.

"He was one of the people who set up the PDP but because of the non-compliance with the rules of the game of politics, it forced most people to change from one party to another.

"We expect his wealth of experience in politics, his contributions and the carrying of everyone on board, we expect him to do the same thing in APC so that it will take us to greater heights during the general elections,” he said.

Commenting on the belief in some quarters that similar crises which affected the PDP would also affect APC, Doho said nobody could rule out the possibility of one or two crisis in any party.

The chairman, however, said the ability of the stakeholders to agree on the contentious issues was what would make the difference.

On the disaffection expressed by a section of the party in the state regarding the defection of a former governor of the state, Sen. Danjuma Goje, Doho said the party was talking to those who were opposed to his coming into the party.

He accused a rival party in the state of trying to cause disaffection among the APC members, adding that the leadership has the capacity to resolve the issues amicably.
