Ex-FCT Minister, Senator Aliero, dumps APC for PDP

A former Minister of the Federal Capital Territoey (FCT) and Senator representing Kebbi Central, Adamu Aliero, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the opposition Peoples Democratic party (PDP).

Aliero, who announced his defection to the PDP on Thursday, said his decision was informed by the injustice meted against him and his supporters in the APC in Kebbi State.

He was a two-term governor of Kebbi State, FCT Minister, and a current Senator in the ninth Senate.

The lawmaker said: “I, Muhammadu Adamu Aliero, people of my constituency, that is Kebbi Central and my teeming supporters from across Kebbi State have resolved to defect from APC to PDP due to the injustices we endured in our former party, APC.

“Those in support of my political ideology were deceived and treated unjustly, hence the need for us to leave the party for another political party where we feel we shall be accommodated and treated justly.”

According to him, before arriving at a conclusion of leaving the party, he made several efforts to resolve the issue including complain to the national headquarters of the party but in spite of the intervention of party officials, nothing positive came out of it.

He appealed to all his supporters in Kebbi Central Senatorial District as well as other loyalists across the state to vote for the PDP to ensure its victory at all levels in the 2023 general election.
