Governor of Niger State, Dr. Babangida Aliyu, has given reasons why he refused to defect to the APC.
Aliyu, who led a delegation of members of his party on a courtesy call on the National Chairman of the party, Adamu Mu’azu, in Abuja on Wednesday, said he refused to follow his colleagues to the opposition party because of his love for the ruling party.
He said his refusal to leave the party was as a result of his love for the party and the respect he had for the people of the state, who he said, asked him to remain in PDP.
The governor was a key member of the aggrieved seven governors of the party who went round the country to complain about the leadership of the party under its former National Chairman, Bamanga Tukur.
But on Wednesday, Aliyu said, “I led the protest which came to be known as G7. It was not intended to kill the party and move away.
“I didn’t move away. Many people asked me, you left a group, how come you didn’t move? I tell them that I didn’t move because my conscience, understanding and my position is with the PDP. “
Also, speaking at the national secretariat, a former Governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa, said it was unfortunate that the APC had yet to have membership cards six months after it was formed.
