Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Waziri Tambuwal, on Wednesday, said he decided to dump the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) because of the institutionalised corruption prevalent in the party coupled with the inability of the the PDP-led government to address insecurity and the increasing rate of youth unemployment.
He stated this after he was officially admitted as a member of All Progressives Congress (APC).
The speaker urged Nigerians to reject the PDP, pointing out that with the support of the electorate, the party would no longer be in office as from May 29, 2015.
According to him: “By the grace of Allah, by this time on May 29, 2015, PDP will be swept off the seat of government.
“I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of emotions since I joined the APC, over which I say, thank you very much. I promise to use this opportunity to lift Nigeria from the evil governance inflicted on it by PDP.”
Tambuwal however, maintained that Nigeria only needed a change of leadership, adding that since PDP had failed to provide purposeful leadership, he had to quit the party.
