There
have been rumors that he left PDP and re-joined APC, a party of which he was a
founding member. He has just released a statement confirming the rumors. Read
his statement below
I
have finally heeded the calls on me to return to the All Progressives Congress
(APC), a party of which I was a founding member. I re-registered as a member of
the APC on Thursday through the party’s online portal. After that, the
leadership of the party in my Bako ward of Yola South Local Government Area
visited me in my Yola residence to welcome me back to their fold.
My
decision to return to the APC was triggered by my believe that all politics are
local. Almost everyone around me, and with whom we started my political journey
believed the time had come for us to make sacrifices and make concessions. That
is in addition to the unbelievable love that my friends in the APC have
showered on me in the past months.
They demonstrated in words and action that
they wanted me back home. I also did a deep and long reassessment of the
circumstances that warranted my exit from the APC in the first place. I left
the APC in 2014 owing to fundamental disagreements with the ways the chapter of
the party in my state was run after it fell into some hands.
Some colleagues
and I tried hard to save the then APC administration from an orchestrated
impeachment plot which was unfortunately carried out with active collaboration
of some ranking APC members in the state. However, events in the last 15 months
have addressed many of the issues and healed some of the wounds. More so, with
the genuine and sincere invitations I received since last year to retrace my
steps into the party, I decided to return after consulting family and political
associates at all levels. I would like to appreciate all those members of the
party who privately and publicly prodded me to return to the party.
My
appreciation also goes to the leadership of our party, from my ward in Bako to
the national leadership, for the enthusiasm they showed in having me back. #NuhuRibadu
