Former Speaker, Ghali Na'aba dumps PDP for APC

Less than 48 hours after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Umar Ghali Na’Abba, has announced his decision to join Nigeria’s main opposition party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).



Na’abba was received by the National Working Committee and other top members of the APC at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday.

Na’abba who resigned his membership of the PDP on Sunday is currently at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja where he is expected to address a press conference ‎with APC national leaders.
In a brief remark, Na’Abba said he decided to join the APC because the PDP has refused to change its ‘undemocratic ways’ of doing things.

He also said he had left the party before, in 2005 but returned after late President Musa Yar’adua assumed office in 2007 and promised change. The promise, he said, was not fulfilled.

“I believe the country needs change, particularly at the top,” he said.

He also said Nigeria has suffered serious misrule in the 16 years of PDP administration ‎adding “the momentum everywhere now is with the APC and that is why I decided to join the APC in order to help grow the momentum,” he said.

Ghali Na’abba was the Speaker of the House of Representative under the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo.

In his resignation letter from the PDP dated March 15, 2015, Na’abba accused President Goodluck Jonathan of reducing governance to a ridiculous level and splitting the country along ethnic and religious lines.
