"I am delighted to welcome you all into our party, APC, it is indeed a thing of joy. I must also commend your boldness to ditch the PDP for the ruling party despite the fact Subayo is a stronghold of the PDP where Baruten Chairman of the party came from".

He assured the people of Subayo and Baruten by extension of more government's presence and charged them to continue to support and cooperate with the administration of Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq which he said, is making unprecedented developmental strides across the state.

"There are one thousand and one reasons to support the APC and the government of Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq because his administration's commitment to improving the lives of kwarans and spread development across nook and cranny of the state is unmatched, insha Allah Subayo will also enjoy more of government's intervention".

"I assured you that you will not regret joining our party. In no distant time, I am going to carry out comprehensive renovation of Subayo Primary School and equipment of Subayo Primary Healthcare Centre while we will also ensure that our qualified youths are taken care of in the next recruitment exercise of the state government among many other things the present administration has in stock for you"

Speaking on behalf of the decampees, Mohammed Haruna explained that the whole of Subayo community which before now was a stronghold of the PDP wholeheartedly and wilfully decided to decamp to the APC having been impressed by the good work of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.
