| Gov. Abdulfattah Ahmed & Senate President, Bukola Saraki |
The President of the Senate Dr Bukola Saraki has officially quit the All Progressives Congress (APC). This coincided with a similar action by Governor Abdulfattah Ahmed of Kwara State, who also announced that he was leaving the party for the Peoples Democratic Party.
In a tweet on his twitter handle @BukolaSaraki, Saraki announced that he had decided to take leave of the APC.
He wrote: “I wish to inform Nigerians that, after extensive consultations, I have decided to take my leave of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Saraki was however silent on joining any other party.
Meanwhile, Governor Ahmed also declared his decision to dump the APC for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Ahmed in a a tweet on his twitter handle @AbdulfataAhmed, said: “Following consultations and in response to calls by major stakeholders in the state, I have moved to the PDP as APC can no longer serve as a platform for achieving the aspirations and expectations of my people”.
Saraki’s defection from the APC comes a week after the defection of many members of the Senate and House of Representatives from the ruling APC.
Saraki’s defection from the APC comes less than 24 hours after the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC dissolved the State Executive Committee of the party in Kwara State.
The dissolution according to a resolution signed by the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, was after the actions of some of the leaders of the party who participated in an open rally calling on the Senate President to decamp to the PDP.
