Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara state has denied he, alongside Senate President Bukola Saraki, is planning to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking to newsmen on Sunday, the governor said they are committed to using the APC to deliver service to the people.

Ahmed said he and the Senate president are not planning to join the PDP because they are not unhappy with the ruling party.

He said: “When you are already working towards achieving results, you will want to see that the results get to the people before you will begin to say you want to jump boat.

“We don ’t have any reason to jump boat for now. Don’t forget that we left the PDP because we had reasons to do so. We don’t have reasons to leave now. We have reason to see that service delivery is given to the people.

“We are committed to ensuring it gets to the people. When I used the word ‘we,’ it is inclusive of the Senate President. We are fully committed to using the instrumentality of the APC to deliver service to the people and we have a strong direction.

“It will be foolhardy to abandon that, leave and go and start all over again. When I say ‘we,’ I am talking about the political group in Kwara.”
