A former Commissioner in the immediate past administration of in Gombe State and a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Babagoro Abdulkadir Yahaya, has dumped the party for the ruling All Progressives Party (APC).
Babagoro Yahaya who is a renowned grassroots politician announced his decision in a statement shared to newsmen in Gombe on Wednesday stating that he is joining forces with Governor Inuwa Yahaya because the “PDP lacks pragmatic manifesto and focus as such, is doomed for failure”.
He further stated that he took the bold step to renounce his membership of the PDP to join the ruling APC in the State because it has been making waves and gaining new grounds.
He added that, developmental progress is being made to the detriment of what he described as the, “increasingly sinking PDP whose dwindling fortunes is becoming glaring with each day’s passage”.
According to him, “Governor Inuwa Yahaya’s tenure in office has heralded positive turn of events as well as unprecedented strides in various sectors”.
He added that, “the road networks dotting the State as well as electricity, pipe borne water and other infrastructural and basic amenities put in place by the people friendly Governor is enough to attract any patriotic Gombe citizen to join the APC” .
The politician said that, now that he has crossed over to to a safe haven and a suitable platform, it gives him an impetus to join in repositioning the State to make it a beacon of hope and envy of other people.
The new APC chieftain noted with delight that even outside the corridors of power, Alhaji Inuwa Yahaya was able to win the heart of majority of Gombe people.
He added that nothing stops his reelection bid considering the incumbency factor and popular support he is still enjoying.
Babagoro Yahaya is therefore calling on the people of Gombe State to massively support the State’s helmsman towards making the State the eight wonder of the world.
