His position has been made know by the ruling PDP on its official Facebook Page.

It has been reported earlier, that some 2,300 chieftains from Kaduna South local government are have defected from the PDP to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in the beginning of January.

Bajoga said that the place of Kaduna as the fortress of the PDP is supported by the credible performance of the party in the state since 1999.

"In the past few years, security was the major issue but we can proudly say the matter has been brought under effective control in the last twelve months," Bajoga stated.

He further commended the choice of Dr. Adamu Muazu as the national chairman of the party.

"For those that know Muazu as an honest and straight-forward person, a man with brilliant ideas, his leadership of the party could not have come at a better time. We are confident that with him, all the ground lost in the past few years would be regained in no distance time," Bajoga said.

To recall, the PDP National Executive Committee (NEC) approved the election of Adamu Mu'azu as the new Chairman of the party on January 20. Next day he promised to take immediate measures as a matter of urgency, to implement reforms that will ensure PDP is not run like it exists in the 19th century.
