Former Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, in Kaduna State, Alhaji Yaro Makama has dumped the
ruling All Progressives Congress, APC and returned to the PDP.
Makama decamped to the APC prior
to the 2015 general election.
The former PDP chieftain and over
1000 of his supporters will return to the party following former Vice
President, Atiku Abubakar’s footsteps.
Makama returned to the PDP, along
with his followers at the weekend in Kaduna.
He was welcomed back to the party
at a ceremony attended by top leaders of the PDP, including the interim
National Chairman of the party, Senator Ahmed Makarfi and the Chairman, Board
of Trustees (BoT), Senator Walid Jibrin, among several others.
Speaking during the occasion, the
decampee said he made a grave mistake by joining the APC in 2015.
Makama who spoke in Hausa
language, said the APC has failed Nigerians, declaring that the time had come
to “change the change.”
He said he joined the party,
“thinking it would address the numerous problems confronting Nigerians” but
regretted that over two years since its assumption of power, Nigerians were
plunged into untold hardship.”
He further condemned the
dismissal of teachers and Local Government workers in Kaduna State, alleging
that Governor Nasir el-Rufai was implementing anti-people programmes.
He then advised Governor Nasir
El-Rufai to start packing his belongings from the Government House, as the
people will not vote him again in 2019.
He added, “The APC has brought
much suffering to Nigerians, in Kaduna State, the teachers are crying, local
government workers are suffering and traditional institutions are ridiculed.
“The school feeding program is in
comatose, in fact, nothing is working in the state, so we must change the
change.”
Makama was the Chairman of PDP in
Kaduna State for eight years when Makarfi was governor.
I'm not in support of their Holiness Saint APC and at the same time I'm not excited by the news of people decamping to PDP. Such people are political prostitutes. People without political ideology, integrity and character
