Ghali Umar Na’ Abba, former speaker of the House of Representatives from 1999 to 2003, Tuesday formally joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) just as he was automatically granted membership of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT).
Speaking at the APC Secretariat in Abuja, Na’Abba, who had on Sunday renounced his membership from the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP), stated that he was joining the APC because of what he termed as “PDP misrule in the country from 1999 till date as well as to join the positive change the APC has in stock for Nigerians.”
”In the last 16 years, the country has been misruled by the successive presidents of the PDP, some of us fought against these tendencies and to no success.”
”I believe the momentum today is in favour of the APC to change this country and we must never allow the momentum to go down, it is in that quest that I feel that having resigned from the People’s Democratic Party, I must join the APC so that I can help grow that momentum,” he said.
