A former Majority Leader of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Philip Dasun, has officially left the All Progressives Congress (APC) to join the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau State.
Dasun, a known ally of former Governor Simon Lalong, announced his decision in a letter addressed to his Belnin Ward chairman of the APC in Pankshin North.
In the letter dated May 13th, 2024, Dasun cited the alignment of PDP’s ideology with his own beliefs as the reason for his defection.
“I write to inform you of my decision to resign from my membership in the APC political party, effective immediately. I have decided to join the PDP, as I believe their ideologies align more closely with my own
“I want to thank you and the other members of the APC for the opportunities and experiences I have had during my time with the party.
“I appreciate the support and guidance I have received, and I have greatly valued the chance to work alongside such dedicated individuals.
“However,after careful consideration,I have come to realize that my political views and goals have shifted.I feel that the PDP is a better fit for my personal and political values,and I believe that I can make a more significant impact by working within their organisation.
“I hope that you understand my decision to resign, and I wish you and the APC all the best in your future endeavours”. The letter stated.
