Hon. Jagaba, who said he had expected to be expelled from the party, did not announce the party he would join.
“I expected dismissal and now a suspension. It’s been long I bid them farewell,†the lawmaker said.
“My body language, my utterances, my actions, and inactions have demonstrated that I had parted ways with them for a long time. It’s unfortunate that they are not practical scientists to realize it,†he said.
He alleged that the APC has shown that the security and welfare of the people is not a priority.
“The electorates are poorer now, Fulani herdsmen have continued to attack and kill my people unabatedly with both the federal and state governments doing nothing.”
“The governor of Kaduna State has continually said, he does not need the votes from Southern Kaduna to win an election. He has demonstrated that he values the life of a cow than the lives of Southern Kaduna people.”
“So I can’t stay with them in the same party,†he added.
