Senator Aliyu Wadada, representing Nasarawa West, has cross over from the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Wadada was spotted at the presidential villa in Abuja on Tuesday, where he met with President Bola Tinubu to inform him of the decision.
The lawmaker, who won his seat on the platform of the SDP, is said to be nursing a governorship ambition in Nasarawa.
Speaking on his defection, Wadada said his earlier exit from the APC for the SDP was “just circumstantial.
“It was just circumstantial and I wouldn’t want to bore anybody about circumstances that led to my departure from APC, because it came, and it’s now gone.
“I went out there, saw, and have done it and that’s why today I am in the senate on the platform of SDP.
“But there is no hiding the fact that, and I had said this earlier, that SDP as a political party hasn’t offended me.
“I am still proud of SDP, but the happenings now may not warrant my continuous stay in SDP, and so I am on my way. I could even say that I am APC.
“I am APC, and not because SDP has offended me, just like the same way I moved from APC to SDP.
“Dynamism of life makes it imperative for everything in life to be dynamic.”
Wadada also dismissed the opposition’s ability to outperform Tinubu’s government, saying, “I haven’t seen any”.
He declared support for Tinubu’s re-election bid, saying “there is no vacancy in Aso Rock” until 2031. (vitalnewsngr.com)
