Mustapha Muhammed Inuwa, the former Secretary to the Katsina State Government (SSG), alongside 627 support groups loyal to him have defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Inuwa officially announced his defection on Sunday after a meeting with representatives of the 627 political groups at his campaign office in Katsina.
The immediate-past SSG, who contested the governorship primary on the platform of APC but lost to Umar Dikko Radda during the party’s primaries, stated that he has been sidelined by the APC hence his defection.
He explained that most Nigerians are victims of the APC’s bad governance.
“Today (Sunday), myself and 627 different political organisations who are my supporters have left the APC to PDP our new political party because both the candidate of the APC (Radda) and the party are not interested in us as a group.
“It is very clear that not only me as a person but even my followers are not needed in their journey, that is why we left the party (APC).
“We will work for the victory of PDP at all levels,” he said.
