Defection: Former Kwara deputy speaker, others join APC, burn PDP membership cards
Former deputy speaker of the Kwara state House of Assembly, Hon Mohammed Suka-Baba, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He defected alongside some members of PDP in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara state.
They openly burnt their membership cards of the PDP.
Giving reasons for his defection, Suka-baba told journalists that it was borne out of promptings by his supporters in the area.
He said, “As a Fulani man, I am defecting to APC because my people want APC; I want to say I am back as I was a founding member of APC in the state. APC is a progressive party and anybody that wants the progress of Kwara state and Nigeria, in general, must join APC.
“I am not joining APC to create any faction in the party. I will still talk to some of them in PDP to join the party of the progressives which is APC.
