GOMBE — Abubakar M. Dalibi, a loyalist of former Gombe Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo and the Peoples Democratic Party's social media chairman in the state, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). He announced his move in a Facebook video and pledged to work for the APC governorship candidate, Dr Jamilu Gwamna. The defection came shortly after INEC explained its position on the exclusion of PDP candidate Isa Pantami.
