The Senator representing Bauchi North, Kaila Samaila, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress.
Kaila, in a letter written to the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, and read during plenary on Tuesday, cited the unending crisis in the PDP as the major reason for his defection.
The lawmaker said his decision to leave the PDP was driven by the party’s internal challenges, which had “gravely constrained” his ability to serve his constituents effectively.
The letter read in part, “The Peoples Democratic Party has gravely constrained my ability to discharge my constitutional responsibilities effectively and in good conscience.
Kaila said his move to the ruling APC was motivated by President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing reforms, which he described as “bold and transformative”.
