Former Governor of Bauchi State, Isa Yuguda, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party – stating that he has endured so much from the former ruling party.
Yuguda won the 2007 Bauchi governorship election on the platform of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party but he would later defect back to the PDP.
While speaking with journalists on Saturday, he said he was leaving the PDP for personal reasons and also because the party is not capable of bringing the needed development to Nigeria.
“As of today, I have resigned my membership of the PDP because of personal reasons. I have had enough troubles in the party.”
“The PDP is no longer the party that can give Nigerians the kind of future they are looking for. I have given serious thought to what has been happening in the party, what has happened to me and what has happened also to our country at large and I feel it will only be wise for me to quit the party.
“Looking back at what happened in the country under the PDP, if I continue staying in the party, I will not be fair not only to myself but to my teeming Bauchi supporters, who gave me the mandate to serve them for eight years as governor.”
