The
Deputy Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, John Audu, representing
Kachia Constituency, has defected from the ruling APC.
Confirming
his defection in a statement, he personally signed, Mr Audu said it was a
difficult decision taken by him.
According
to him, he consulted widely with people of his constituency before leaving the
party.
He
cited impunity in the party as the main reason for his defection.
Mr
Audu did not mention the new party he will join.
“I
write to withdraw my membership of the All Progressive Congress APC with effect
from 7th August 2018.
“This
is the most difficult decision ever taken after due consultation with the good
people of my constituency.
“However,
I came to realize that most of the party supporters have left due to impunity
and division in the local government and the state level of the party. Please
accept my best regards,” he wrote.
Another
member of the state assembly representing Kudan Local Government Area, Junaidu
Yakubu, has also dumped the APC.
In a
letter signed by him and submitted to the party secretariat, he said it had
become imperative “in view of the draconian leadership of the party at the
state level and the local government.”
“I
feel I will not serve the interest of the people in my constituency under the
said leadership. This decision was arrived at after due consultation with my
people whom I had sworn to protect their interest under the party,” he said.
