The governor made the statement when
he received the leadership and members of the state chapter of the National
Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) at government House, Katsina The
governor of Katsina state, Aminu Masari has said the exit of former vice
president Atiku Abubakar and other members from the All Progressives Congress
(APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party Party (PDP), will not be felt in the APC,
adding that it is good riddance to bad rubbish.
According to reports, the governor advised the
party that defectors should be allowed to go, saying the latter were not
comfortable with the people’s policies introduced by President Muhammadu
Buhari.
It gathered that Masari made the
statement at the government house in Katsina when he received the leadership
and members of the state chapter of the National Union of Road Transport
Workers (NURTW).
The Governor said: “For those of them
leaving the party, it is good riddance to bad rubbish. Let them go. Even here,
locally, we have them but we can deal with them.
“It is not good enough for somebody to enter
his room and start talking . Let us come out and face the people.
“This government is ready, willing and
prepared to face anybody and account for our stewardship anytime and anywhere.
“Stay away from those enemies of the
people who are masquerading as if they like or they are for the people. They
were once in a position to salvage the situation but they misused the
opportunities."
It had previously reported that an
associate of former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, Mallam Isah Dansallah and a
former speaker of the Taraba state House of Assembly, Simon Dogari, had
defected from the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) to the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
In Kaduna, Dansallah, who is a
founding member of the APC attributed his defection to what he called lack of
good governance by the ruling party. He told the Leadership newspaper that the
party had failed the Nigerian people.
“I dump the APC to PDP because the
opposition PDP is lesser evil compare with the ruling APC," he said. He
added:
“There was a time that I found myself in the
APC, I worked for its success in 2015, but the APC has metamorphosed and turned
into a ghost with crisis all over.
“The APC led government has succeeded
in subjecting Nigerians to abject poverty and has successfully divided
Nigerians along religious and ethnic lines.”
