Siyako Anthony Yaro, senator representing Gombe south, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and returned to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after failing to secure the ruling party’s senatorial ticket for the 2027 elections.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the lawmaker said the
decision followed wide consultations with political associates, community
leaders, and supporters across the district.
According to Daily Trust, Yaro described the PDP as the
platform that first believed in the aspirations of Gombe south people and gave
him the opportunity to pursue their development agenda.
“This decision was not made lightly. But the PDP remains the
party that first believed in our collective dream for a greater Gombe South — a
dream of better roads, functional schools, accessible healthcare, and empowered
youths and women,” he said.
The senator rejected any notion of desperation or
inconsistency, framing his move as an act of responsibility and accountability
to his constituents.
“To my supporters and constituents, I ask that you see this
return not as a sign of confusion, but as an act of courage and accountability.
My loyalty has always been, and will always be, to the people first,” he said.
Yaro expressed gratitude to his supporters for their
steadfast loyalty and reaffirmed his commitment to the district’s development.
“I am ready to run. I am ready to win. I am ready to
continue defending your interests with every breath in my body,” the lawmaker
said.
He urged residents to stay united, emphasising that the
future of Gombe south must be shaped by the will of the people rather than
narrow political calculations.
