The senator representing Katsina North Senatorial District, the senatorial zone of President Muhammadu Buhari,. Ahmed Baba Keita has officially announced his exit from the ruling All Progressives Congress APC.

Babba-Kaita announced on Wednesday that he was joining the opposition People’s Democratic Party

The defection brought an end to speculations, on local radio stations in Katsina and on social media that the senator would be switching political parties ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Babba-Kaita was at the PDP secretariat in Katsina Tuesday afternoon but both the party and the senator denied that he had gone there to defect.

In a statement  by the Senator’s media aide, Abdulkadir Lawal, Mr Babba Kaita said he defected because he is not a bandwagon politician.

He also said the PDP represents what he stands for.

“Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita is not a bandwagon politician. His exemplary and robust representation in the Nigerian Senate is to the admiration of all, and with significant, visible impacts in the areas of infrastructural and human capital development across the three Senatorial zones of the state. There is room to do more.

“The fresh page from the decision to join the Peoples’ Democratic Party represents the ideals of representativeness in the mandate, goodwill and an even more determined desire and opportunity to provide succour, comfort and the much-needed dividends of democracy to the people,” the statement added.
