Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, a senior member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reportedly dumped the party after accusing the government of President Muhammadu Buhari as incompetent and corrupt.
Baba-Ahmed, who was a member of the House of Representatives from 2003 to 2007 and later senator under the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in 2011, said he had returned to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Premium Times reports that Baba-Ahmed on Thursday, November 29, informed the chairman of Tudun Wada ward in Zaria Local Government Area that he was leaving the APC.
His resignation letter was hand-written and he did not give any reason for his decision according to the report.
However, the report said he later spoke in a telephone interview saying he intentionally refused to give his reason.
“Buhari’s Government is incompetent and corrupt…the government is lying,” he said when he was reminded of the effort of the administration to curb corruption.
“The Government of Buhari was established by looted funds and over 80% are from the PDP, his so called fight against corruption is a ruse,” he said.
He reportedly accused the APC of lacking principle and vision as well as any concrete plans for Nigeria.
He noted that eight percent of the current APC members are from the PDP.
“And they are the same people who destroyed Nigeria in the last 18 years and they are now in APC,” he said
