A week to the general election, a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdulrazaq Gidado Abubakar, has dumped the presidential flag bearer of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He announced his resign from APC over the weekend and join the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to work for the success of Atiku Abubakar.
Gidado Abubakar disclosed that he left his former party due to selfish attitude of some party elements in the State Chapter of the APC, saying that they are concerned with their personal interests and not that of the party.
According to him, he left APC for PDP with over 20,000 members in Taraba State, expressing happiness that he was received by the State governor, Darius Ishaku on Thursday.
Abubakar said he has withdrawn his membership of APC:
“I am presently a member of Presidential Campaign Council and was member of APC Legal Committee of the 2022 APC Convention, An aspirant of Taraba APC state chairman.
“I am also a former UDP Gubernatorial aspirant, and the pioneer managing director of Taraba state tourism developments board.
“I am moving with my structure of over 100 persons per ward totalling over 20,000 members who have voluntarily decided to follow me out of loyalty and frustration with developments in our party.
“Yesterday the 16th February 2023, I was officially received by his Excellency the Executive Governor of Taraba state Architect Darius Ishaku to PDP.”
He insisted that selfishness looms large in Taraba State APC, hence, he got fed up with the turn out of things.
