Galambi, who until recently was a member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), disclosed this in Dutse after he and more than 64,000 defectors from various opposition parties were formally welcomed into the APC by the party’s National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwada, during a grand rally attended by five governors and several top party leaders.
