Lawmaker Representing Buhari’s Senatorial District Dumps APC For PDP

The senator representing Katsina North Senatorial District, Ahmad Babba Kaita, has ed the Peoples democratic Party (PDP).

Babba Kaita announced his defection from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in a statement by his media aide, Abdulkadir Lawal.

Katsina North senatorial zone comprises 12 local government areas, including Daura, President Muhammad Buhari’s hometown.

Babba Kaita was elected to the 8th Senate in 2018 to fill the vacuum in the senatorial zone following the demise of Senator Mustapha Bukar.

In 2019, he was re-elected again to the 9th Senate after defeating his opponent, Hon Usman Mani of the PDP. He currently chairs the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND.

The lawmaker said his decision to dump the ruling APC was due to the marginalisation of critical stakeholders by the state government and the leadership of the party at the state level.

He said the state under the Aminu Bello Masari-led istration is witnessing gradual decline to undemocratic principles with total absence of a level playing field for grassroots politicians and genuine party foot-soldiers.

The senator said as an advocate of transparency and continuous entrenchment of popular will, he could not afford to continue sharing the tent of undemocratic merchandise clearly being executed against his people by the state government and party leadership.

Babba Kaita said his movement to the PDP was informed by his determined desire and opportunity to provide succour and much-needed dividends of democracy to his people.

The statement said, “As a loyal party man and responsive democrat whose expansive base in his constituency has remained pivotal to his ion for the reciprocal growth and development of his people, Distinguished Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita has followed the recent events in Katsina state with keen interest and deep concern.

“Of notable implication among many of this numerous concerns is the gradual loss of credibility in Governor Masari-led istration, particularly in the avowed refusal to conduct local government elections across the state in time.

“The wilful refusal of the istration to uphold the basic foundation of democracy has also found expression in the marginalisation of critical stakeholders by the state government and the leadership of the party at the state level.

“The recent Congresses at state and ward levels, with no identified genuine pro-government delegates are clearly a rape of grassroots politicians and genuine party foot-soldiers who were rigged out of open contest.

“The total absence of a level playing field speaks volumes about an already orchestrated decline to antidemocratic principles and challenges every good conscience including ours. All politics is local.

“As an advocate of transparency, ability and continuous entrenchment of popular will, Senator Kaita cannot afford to continue sharing the tent of undemocratic merchandise clearly being executed against his people by the state government and party leadership.

“A clear stock taking of where Katsina state stands today, is already enough burden on good conscience. Our good people, in their millions have excused deprivation, poverty and hunger for too long.

“They have endured the risk to their lives and wellbeing imposed by the incapacity of the state government to tackle insecurity head on.

“They have been denied enough, already, by the state government. We cannot deny them their right of choice. The serial denial of the people’s mandate at the recent Congresses among other related developments has finally found expression in our answer to the clarion call of our people to vacate the APC following very wide consultations.

“Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita is not a bandwagon politician. His exemplary and robust representation in the Nigerian Senate is to the iration of all, and with significant, visible impacts in the areas of infrastructural and human capital development across the three Senatorial zones of the state. There is a room to do more.”

These Northerners don dey leave HAYPC for Tinubu oooo

There are crisis at state level which is leading to many defections. No matter what happens, Power must return to the South in 2023. The North didn't have a choice in 1999 and 2011; They don't have a choice now.

D same ppl that dey said wanted Amaechi.......

Mandate2023:
D same ppl that dey said wanted Amaechi.......

Tinubu's slumdogs keep wailing, dreaming about their tormentor, Amaechi 247


We know say na Amaechi wan stop una from the planned massive nationwide thievery & agberoism una don plan through Tinubu come 2023

State level crises just like in Kwara State, may be he's nursing an ambition but the state governor wasn't giving him the necessary green light or just money matter. It's either money or ambition

In Bubu’s voice, Apc…from top to bottom….top to bottom

APC was built on deceit and won't stay longer.

Political Prostitutes everywhere.

A better Nigeria is all we want, and not all these political shenanigans and political prostitutes everywhere.

God bless Nigeria and all sane, honest, good, and hardworking Nigerians.

Nigeria will succeed.

Weldone assistant Jesus

Transfer season

They have started restrategising!

That is technically minus 1 delegate from the 7800 APC has and this is a statutory delegate o. I hope they are not planning to snatch power through PDP hence they allow Tinubu win APC primaries with his "structure". Lol

Gentlevip:

But it will help your goat face, midget cl0wn commissioner?

Trouble in paradise ?

Hh

The North and politics of power. The spate of defections to the PDP by northern APC politicians recently appears planned and orchestrated by the North to critically weaken the APC, thereby holding on to power in the PDP.

Masari has thrown this one under a moving bus

Ok. Dumping is allowed.

Evil party

Mtcheeeew.... I thought he has something reasonable to say. Marginalisation my foot.
He doesn't want to say the APC has failed and may not be voted again. He has tricked his zombie followers into thinking he has their interest at heart. God is watching you all.

As election is around the corner these decampings, cross carpetings, political prostitutings, change overs are expected. Now gullible masses will think all these are done for their sake not knowing that the decampees have their ulterior motives.
