The immediate past governor of Bauchi State, Mallam Isa Yuguda, has dumped the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). The former governor disclosed this while speaking with journalists in Bauchi via telephone on Saturday.
He said he decided to leave PDP, because “the party lacks political will to bring development to Nigeria”.
The past governor who is outside the country stated that he feels the party had lost focus after the last election which ended in defeat and that he had lost confidence in the leadership style of the party.
On what party he’s dumping PDP for, Yuguda said “I will consult with my supporters before I decide on the party to move to but I am still in politics. Already, I have told my supporters that I will not force them to leave PDP; anybody who wants to remain in PDP is free to do so and whoever wants to move with me is welcome. I decided to leave the PDP because the party can no longer bring development to Nigeria, it’s unfortunate that the party has lost focus,”
Some of Yuguda’s supporters destroyed their PDP membership cards and joined their leader in leaving the party .
A former Senior Special Assistant on Youth to the former governor, Garba Jonas was among those who destroyed their membership cards.
He said: “We decided to destroy our membership cards because we do not belong to the PDP anymore. We must leave with our boss, Isa Yuguda, to wherever he is going”.
