A member of the House of Representative, Hon. Abdullahi El-Rasheed (Bala Kelly), has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gombe State.
The lawmaker, who represented Dukku/Nafada Federal Constituency, announced his defection to the APC, when he visited Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya at the Gombe State Liaison Office in Abuja.
A statement by Governor Yahaya’ spokesman, Ismaila Uba Misilli, said during the visit Hon. El-Rasheed formally presented to the governor his APC membership card, which he obtained from his ward in Dukku Local Government Area during the ongoing e-registration and revalidation exercise.
The lawmaker attributed his decision to join the APC to Governor Yahaya’s progressive leadership, people-oriented policies and visible development strides across Gombe State, as well as the reform-driven agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
