Our good people, in their millions have excused deprivation, poverty and hunger for too long.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have endured the risk to their lives and wellbeing imposed by the incapacity of the state government to tackle insecurity headon. They have been denied enough, already, by the state government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot deny them their right of choice. The serial denial of the people\u2019s mandate at the recent Congresses among other related developments has finally found expression in our answer to the clarion call of our people to vacate the APC following very wide consultations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSenator Ahmad Babba Kaita is not a bandwagon politician. His exemplary and robust representation in the Nigerian Senate is to the admiration of all, and with significant, visible impacts in the areas of infrastructural and human capital development across the three Senatorial zones of the state. There is a room to do more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fresh page from the decision to join the Peoples\u2019 Democratic Party represents the ideals of representativeness in mandate, goodwill and an even more determined desire and opportunity to provide succour, comfort and the much-needed dividends of democracy to the people, the statement declared<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita representing the Northern senatorial district in the Senate and an ally of President Muhammadu Buhari has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP).
