The Governor of Plateau State,
Simon Lalong, has said that he is not upset with the decision of former Vice
President, Atiku Abubakar to decamp from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Recall that on Sunday, Atiku
announced his membership of the PDP via Facebook live.
Lalong and Atiku had been very
close friends in the PDP before moving to the APC.
The governor, who is a close
associate of Atiku, told newsmen on Sunday in Jos that he would not leave the
APC.
“We reached out to Atiku while
building the APC structure in Plateau and received some help from him, but my
loyalty is with the APC.
“My loyalty is with President
Muhammadu Buhari and my people have endorsed him for a second term.
“Whatever happens in another
party does not concern me.
“We are only waiting for the APC
National Convention to endorse Buhari for a second tenure,” he said.
Lalong, however, stated that it
was the constitutional right of every Nigerian to decide which political group
to associate with.
