The Director General of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign organisation in Gombe state, Alhaji Bala Bello Tinka (alias Tinka Point), has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to Gombe town for campaign rally scheduled for Saturday, February 2, 2019.
Tinka met with the president on Thursday night at State House in Abuja where he pledged allegiance to the APC, and promised to bring his political weight to bear on the election of the president for a second term in office.
The defection of Tinka deals a massive blow to the PDP in Gombe which currently governs the state, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, said in a statement in Abuja.
