The Chairman, House of Representatives committee on interior, Adams Jagaba, on Monday evening formerly dumped Nigeria\u2019s ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n
Jagaba, who represents Kachia\/Kagarko constituency of Kaduna State, announced his decision while reacting to his suspension from the APC in Kaduna State. \u201cAPC is a sinking ship and I won\u2019t perish with it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Jagaba, who said he had expected to be expelled from the party, did not announce the party he would join.<\/p>\n
\u201cI expected dismissal and now suspension. It\u2019s been long I bid them farewell.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy body language, my utterances, my actions and inactions have demonstrated that I had parted ways with them for a long time. It\u2019s unfortunate that they are not practical scientists to realise it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He alleged that the APC has shown that the security and welfare of the people is not a priority.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe electorates are poorer now, Fulani herdsmen have continued to attack and kill my people unabatedly with both the federal and state governments doing nothing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Governor of Kaduna State has continually said, he does not need the votes from Southern Kaduna to win election. He has demonstrated that he values the life of a cow than the lives of Southern Kaduna people. So, I can\u2019t stay with them in the same party,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The lawmaker said he would never beg to return to the APC. \u201cThe power lies with the electorates and not in the hands of a political party,\u201d he said, adding \u201cif they are expecting me to come crawling on my knees to beg them, then they are day-dreaming.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
