Over 60,000 supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi State have defected to the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), citing frustration with the PDP-led administration. The defectors, under the Hon. Umar Farouk Adam Support Group, gathered at the MHWUN Complex in Bauchi to announce their switch and pledge support for Senator Shehu Buba Umar. The group's leader, Hon. Umar Farouk, claimed the decision was informed by unfulfilled campaign promises, inadequate empowerment programmes, and neglect of youths and communities by the previous government. Farouk stated that Senator Shehu Buba has demonstrated commitment to grassroots welfare through direct interventions and consistent engagement with communities.
