Kaduna PDP lawmaker defects to APC

Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on House Services, Daniel Amos, on Wednesday defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). 

Amos, who represents Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency of Kaduna State, recently announced his defection at a well attended rally at the Kafanchan Township stadium with  Senator Marshall Kaduna ( Kaduna South). 

However, in a letter read at plenary by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen, the lawmaker hinged his decision on what he called unresolved contradictions within the PDP at the national level which he said has weakened the capacity of the party to function well and represent the interest of the people. 

He said the decision to leave the PDP was a hard decision especially when considered against the backdrop of the fact that the party gave him the mandate to represent his people after years of dedicated service to the party. 

He regretted that the PDP has regressed  and has allowed itself to be weighed down by its own antics, making the party unattractive. 

He said that after careful consultation with his constituents, he has decided to align with the policies of the Tinubu led APC government to bring further development to the people of his constituency as well as the efforts of Governor Uba Sani in bringing peace and development to Kaduna state.
