Former Secretary to Nasarawa State Government (SSG), Chief Philip Dada as well as the former Commissioner for Cultural and Tourism, Hon Dauda Esu and one-time Permanent Secretary in Nasarawa State, Mr. Silas Dako have all dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking on behalf of the decampees, Philip Dada said that the desire to leave PDP is to maintain their political prestige and gain access to contribute meaningfully to the leadership of Tanko Al-Makura, Governor of the state and President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Tanko Al Makura is doing tremendously well and I want to be part of the change.”
The former SSG said that PDP has lost direction and therefore not a platform that anybody can contributes meaningfully and bring development to his community.
He called on the members who left PDP to consider the party as a ship that is already drowning and which will soon sink.
Receiving the decampees, APC Chairman in the state, Mr. Philip Tatari, commended them for joining their brothers and sisters in APC to actualize their political dreams.
He described them as experienced people that can assist in fighting corruption and bring development to the party as well as tackle the present economic recession in the country. [myad]
