The party also received Professor Mohammed Sani Yahaya, accompanied by former Permanent Secretary, Mr. Musa Istiphanus, from Taraba State.
They joined the party alongside key leaders from the state.
The leadership directed them to work closely with the State Chairman and officers of the NDC in Taraba to strengthen and reposition the party in the state.
In the same vein, the party welcomed Hon. Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma, a former member of the House of Representatives and former official of the Federal Code of Conduct Bureau, as well as a notable political figure in Edo State, who has also joined the NDC.
