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.
