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.
