A member of the House of Representatives, Amos Daniel, has formally defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
His defection was announced on Wednesday during plenary presided by the Speaker of the House, Tajudeen Abbas.
Representing Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency of Kaduna State, Daniel said his decision followed wide consultations with community leaders, religious groups, professionals, and traditional rulers in his constituency.
He noted that the move was not made hastily but after months of deep reflection and extensive consultation,” adding that joining the APC would enable him to better serve his people and attract more development to Southern Kaduna.
According to him, the expectations of his constituents for improved infrastructure, security, and youth empowerment can be more effectively pursued through partnership with the ruling party.
Daniel’s defection further boosts the APC’s strength in the Green Chamber, as more opposition lawmakers continue to align with the party.
Abbas, while acknowledging the letter, welcomed Daniel to the APC and urged him to remain focused on the unity and welfare of his constituents regardless of political affiliation.
