Two weeks after his defeat at the polls, the Maiduguri Metropolitan Council PDP candidate for the Feb. 23 House of Representatives election, Engr. Abdulsalam Mustapha Kachalla, has decamped to the APC.
Engr. Kachalla announced his decamping to journalists on Tuesday in Maiduguri.
“My
decision to join the APC is largely informed by the credible leadership
demonstrated by President Muhammadu Buhari and Borno Governor Kashim
Shettima; and for my former lecturer, Prof Babagana Umara, who is now
the governor-elect.
He said he joined APC in the interest of his
people and future generations, adding that the “state cannot afford to
be in the opposition any longer given the bitter experience of gross
underdevelopment and total neglect it suffered between 1999 and 2015
when the PDP controlled the Federal Government.”
