Former Secretary to the Government of Katsina State, Alhaji Mustapha Inuwa, on Sunday defected from the All Progressive Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Inuwa addressing his supporters in Katsina on Sunday announced his defection from the APC to the PDP. He said that he made3 the decision after series of consultations with his supporters across the state
Inuwa was SSG in the administration of Governor Aminu Masari from 2015 to 2022, resigned to contest the APC governorship primary in May 2022 in the state.
The former SSG highlighted: “If you could remember, during the APC governorship primary election in the state, we know all that happened at that time, and at the end a winner was declared.
“We accepted defeat and we promised to support the party’s candidate, after which he visited me and I assured him all the necessary support.
“But unfortunately, since then, I have never been contacted for any function related to the progress of the party in Katsina state, thereby sidelining us from the party.
“This is a clear indication that we are not respected as bonafide members of APC while some people went on saying that they can win elections even without us.
“With this development in the party, we cannot continue in this situation, therefore, myself and all my supporters in the state resolved to leave the party and support the PDP.”
Inuwa instructed all his supporters across the state to register with PDP and handover his campaign offices to the party.
