BY RICHARD ABU, Nasarawa –
It was celebration galore yesterday in the ancient town of Keffi LGA of Nasarawa State when thousands of supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) defected to the Social Democratic Party ( SDP) spearheaded by an illustrious son of the area, Alhaji Aliyu Wadada.
Alhaji Wadada, a former member of the Federal House of Representatives defected to SDP alongside a serving member of the Federal House of Representatives Mr. Gaza Jonathan Gbefwfi.
Mr. Gaza is representing the people of Karu, Keffi and Kokona Federal Constituency at the lower legislative chambers.
They defected to SDP on reasons of what Wadada Ahmed described as cheap mischief perpetrated by a man, who because of transient privilege decided to play God by changing the list of delegates done by critical stakeholders and endorsed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He noted that when he perceived the injustice, he decided not to participate in the fake primary election and resigned his membership of the party.
He added that vindication came his way when APC did the so called primaries eight days after the scheduled date and postponed for more than three times, which according to him ended in a shameful wat
Alhaji Wadada, who believed that power resides with the people and the electorates, expressed optimism that he will surely get victory in 2023 Senatorial election to represent the good people of Nasarawa West Senatorial District.
He urged his teeming supporters to remain calm and shun those mischief makers who do not have the interest of the people at heart but work to ensure that such people are disgraced at the polls
