A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano, Senator Mas’ud El-Jibril Doguwa has described the policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as ‘anti-people oriented’. Doguwa, a former Senator, said that after a careful appraisal of Tinubu’s government in the last one year, he realized the present administration prioritized policies that cause more harm than good to the ordinary citizens of this country.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
He declared his resignation from the membership of APC and the decision to return to the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) henceforth.
Doguwa in a statement said the decision to dump the APC alongside his supporters was taken after wide consultations.
He lamented a total neglect and exclusion from activities of APC across all levels and governance despite his wealth of political experience.
“This decision is consequent upon series of wide-range consultations with our people who believe that APC, at all levels, does not take advantage of our long-standing experience in politics and governance,” Doguwa said.
“As members of the APC, we feel we are being being grossly underutilized, as we are rarely involved in any forum to discuss and share our experiences for the development of the Party, the State or the Nation.”
Doguwa added “An idle mind is the devil’s workshop. It is our belief that, in politics, as in other fields of human endeavour, activity ranks paramount. If you make players in any given field redundant, they are bound to struggle to create activities for themselves, somewhere outside the party. Experienced politicians do not want to stay idle.
“In addition to these, we have discovered, after careful appraisal of the activities of the APC governments, that many of their policies are anti peoples oriented, which do not align with our political ideology. They prioritize policies that cause more harm than good to the ordinary citizens of this country.
“Based on the foregoing therefore, we heed to the instruction of our elders and the advice of our political associates, to hereby announce that, we as a group have taken the bold decision to return to our political base, the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) to continue as full pledged members.”
