Fatuhu Muhammad, a nephew to President Muhammadu Buhari, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress after a meeting with the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar.
Disclosing this in a letter he addressed to the APC chairman of Sarkin Yara ‘A’ Ward, Daura, Muhammad thanked the APC for giving him the opportunity to serve his people.
His letter reads, “This is to notify you that I have resigned my membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC) with immediate effect commencing from Wednesday the 13th day of July, 2022. Attached herewith is my Party Membership Registration slip with slip No. KT/DRA/10/00002.
“While I thank you and the party for the opportunity given to me to serve the interest of the people of Daura/ Sandamu/ Mai ‘Adua Federal Constituency while working with the party, accept my best wishes please.”
The lawmaker representing Daura/Sandamu/Maiadua Federal Constituency had on May 28 lost the APC primaries for the same seat to Aminu Jamu in a disputed two-horse race.
It was gathered that the lawmaker had written a petition to the national headquarters of the party over alleged disqualification of the winner prior to the primaries as well as some irregularities during election, but the party blinked over his petition.
Sources say that Muhammad had met with the PDP presidential candidate on July 21 in Abuja and arrangement to join the opposition PDP and campaign for Atiku’s election is in the works.
