A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kano State, Senator Masaud Doguwa, has defected to the Peoples Democratic Party.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by Doguwa on Friday.
Doguwa’s defection to PDP came after he accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of lack of focus, and carrying out anti-people policies.
He emphasized on the underutilization of party members, stating that despite their experience in politics, they were rarely involved in party forums to contribute to the development of the APC.
He expressed disappointment with the President’s anti-people policies, which he believes have plunged the nation into poverty.
“In politics, if you fail to engage highly experienced politicians by providing them with political assignments, you are making them politically redundant, and giving them room to struggle and engage themselves elsewhere,” the statement read.
“After careful appraisal, I have discovered that some of the policies are anti-people-oriented and do not align with our political ideology,” he said.
“These policies are causing more harm and concern than good to the ordinary and common citizens of the country.
“From what we have seen happening in APC, we have not seen light in the tunnel where an ordinary man, big or small, will sigh a relief from the burden of life with the APC approach on issues,” the senator said.
