Speaker dumps APC for PDP
Bauchi Speaker Abubakar Sulaiman has defected to the PDP from his APC.
Sulaiman announced this at a Ramadan Iftar dinner hosted by Governor Bala Mohammed on Saturday night.
The Nation reports Abubakar emerged as Bauchi Speaker with the backing of some PDP members, which made him fall out with some of his colleagues in APC.
The chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria said, “One of my reasons to return to the PDP is in recognition of the exemplary leadership style of our Governor and his commitment to transforming the state,” he said
Gov. Mohammed welcomed the Speaker into the PDP fold, saying the step he has taken had been long expected considering his body language in recent times.
He said that it is a homecoming for the Speaker, having supported all the programme of the PDP in the past
