Why I
dumped APC for PDP – Buhari’s 2015 campaign official
A 2015 campaign official for President Muhammadu Buhari, Alhaji
Ibrahim Al Amin, has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano State.
Ibrahim, a former Chairman of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples
Party (ANPP) in Kano, said he left APC because the party had failed to redeem
all its campaign promises to the electorate.
He disclosed that the President Buhari administration had marginalised the
northern part of the country despite the votes they gave to him in 2015
elections.
“Although I do not regret supporting and voting for Buhari, I
cannot remain in the party because it is not running the country properly.
“I hold Buhari in high esteem but he is not in control of the
present government”.
“President Buhari is not in control of his government since he fell
ill, and some people have taken the advantage and control the government,” he
told newsmen in Kano.
“I am highly disappointed in the APC because it has reneged on the promises it
made to Nigerians. What we have been accusing other political parties of doing,
are what APC is now doing. There is poverty everywhere and the APC is not doing
anything to bail the masses out.
“I am in politics to serve my people directly or indirectly, and
I am not comfortable with the way the ruling party is handling the affairs of
Nigerians,” he further stated.
“I am disappointed with the administration after all the votes provide
to Buhari by North-west but the region is shortchanged in term of execution of
developmental projects.
“My expectation is government will reciprocate the region with
laudable projects but unfortunately, the government is being under the control
of some southerners.
“My cross carpeting has been from the ruling parties to oppositions and on
three occasions, I held a party to win election. I am not in politics to use
political office to make financial gains but I am in politics to have the
opportunity to serve the people.
“I have no reason to remain in the party that disappointed
Nigerians and the party failed to improve the economic development of the
people of the country rather contributed to hardship among the populace.”
