The Minority Leader of the Gombe State House of Assembly, Hon. Ahmed Usman Haruna (APC), has formally declared his defection to the PDP.

 Ahmed made the declaration during the House plenary on Thursday where he said the decision followed the injustice that characterised the APC in the state.

He said after the APC's faulty congresses, the party slammed an unjustified suspension to him on 30th May through blackmail because of his stand for justice.

He explained that after seeking justice through a letter he wrote to the national office of the APC, he was denied justice for the undemocratic suspension which led him to take the decision to defect to PDP.

He said he had come to the realization that the APC has no respect for it's constitution and the country's constitution and that its manifestoes were merely for campaign purposes.

With these reasons, Honourable Ahmed said, "I will not allow myself to be ridiculed or rubbished, I therefore announce my defection to the PDP".

The Speaker, Hon. Abubakar Nasiru Nono, and the Majority Leader, Honourable Amos Fabulous, while welcoming him, assured him that he and his constituency will never regret such decision.
