Disgruntled former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Bala Baiko, from Kano State and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who recently announced his cross-over to the PDP has revealed that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar will soon be rejoining the PDP.
Hon. Baiko, who was elected to the House of Representatives in 2003 under the defunct All Peoples Party, told newsmen while he was defecting that members of the All Nigerian Peoples Party had been sidelined since their party joined other legacy parties to form the APC.
According to Hon. Baiko, following the defection of a former governorship candidate, Ibrahim El-Amin, to the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar had complained of neglect in the APC, stating his numerous followers were similarly not carried along in the scheme of things in Kano.
Baiko further alleged that he and his followers were only remembered during elections after which they have been cast aside by those in government. His words: “As everyone knows, party politics is all about making members feel he belongs by including them in active governance, but in our case, no one remembers us after we helped in bringing the government and what do you think we will be doing in this kind of party?”
