A former member of the House of Representatives, representative of Nangere/Potiskum federal constituency in the National Assembly, 2007 to 2011, Lawan Mammodu Kori, has defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) in Yobe State.
Mammodu Kori in Potiskum, Yobe State, had declared: “I have decided to dump the ruling APC and join the PDP because in the past I belonged to the PDP family who gave me their mandate to represent them at the National Assembly from 2007 to 2011, I remain grateful for that. I left them for APC, but after some time I felt, I should return to my beloved party, the PDP.
“PDP made me what I am today, I will never forget the good gesture of the party. We will actively work in ensuring its victory at all levels come 2023 general elections.”
Mammodu Kori declared that the PDP presidential candidate, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, will win the presidential election in 2023, noting that Atiku has popularity and support in the six geopolitical zones of the country.
According to Mammodu Kori, “Atiku is the type of leader that Nigeria needs at this material time for it to wax stronger economically, politically, and socially.
“He will be in charge of steering the affairs of the country when giving the mandate to become President.”
