Nadimizing the narrative: A political conversion in Niger State
Legislator Switches Political Allegiance from PDP to APC in Niger State
Hey there! Let's chat about a shakeup in Nigerian politics, shall we? The representative for Suleja, Gurara, and Tafa Federal Constituency, Adamu Lokoja, has made a big move and shifted his allegiance from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to our source, this momentous transition was announced at a grand ceremony held at the APC's state office in Minna. Lokoja was warmly welcomed by the State Chairman, Aminu Bobi, amidst a flurry of cheers and applause.
Why the switch?
If you're wondering what prompted this decision, it seems like there's been a troublingInternal schism within the PDP, leading to a wave of defections. Many politicians, including Adamu Lokoja, believe that the transformational changes they've witnessed under the APC-led government provide a bigger and brighter future for them.
To put it simply, they think the APC has what it takes to fire up their political power engines. 💥💨
The Niger East Zonal Chairman of the APC, Danladi Ahijoh, welcomed Lokoja aboard by describing his move as an "investment" for politicians seeking to participate in shaping the future. Ahijoh emphasized that the transformational shifts under the APC government attracted new members like a magnet.
Lokoja's defection aligns with a broader trend of politicians jumping ship from the PDP to the APC. In fact, several political figures have cited internal party crises and a lack of unity as the primary reasons behind their decisions.
As a result, the PDP seems to be struggling to keep up with the APC in the race for support. While Lokoja is one of three members from Niger State's 10th Assembly to defect, there's a sense that more could follow suit as the upcoming elections approach.
Partying away...
