National Secretary of  the group, Muhammad Bello, who stated this at  the NUJ Secretariat in Bauchi yesterday, said: “Defection is not a new thing to us.

“I want to assure you that the defection of lawmakers will not affect APC in 2019.

“Though we are not happy that some of the lawmakers left APC, I want them to know that the party they defected to will not accommodate them like APC because we accommodate each other and live like one family.”

On the forthcoming Bauchi South Senatorial by-election, Bello urged Bauchi citizens, especially the youth, to support APC’s candidate, Lawal Gumau.
