Marwa, supporters defect to PDP in Adamawa
(Nigeria) Former Military Governor of Lagos State and a chieftain of All Progressives Congress,
APC in Adamawa, retired Brig.-Gen. Buba
Marwa, has formally defected to People's Democratic Party, PDP, with his
teeming supporters.
The decision by Marwa to defect to PDP followed a meeting
held on Sunday with his supporters in Yola, Adamawa State, after their complaint of
being marginalised in the APC.
In his speech,Marwa accused APC's national leadership of handing over the party
in the state to Gov Murtala Nyako.
Marwa, who contested the last state governorship election
with Nyako under defunct CPC, said his supporters were marginalised during the
recent APC membership registration in the state.
He noted that as members of the legacy parties that formed
APC he would not accept a situation where Nyako, who came from PDP, would just
take over the party from "the original founders in the state".
Marwa said he would dialogue
with the PDP so as to ensure their fair share in the party.
Others, who spoke at the meeting shortly before the voice
vote, insisted that they should leave for PDP
their original party.
Marwa left PDP for defunct Congress for Progressive Change, CPC
in 2011 after the conduct of the PDP
governorship primaries which nominated
Governor Murtala Nyako to run for
second term.
