Saraki and I won’t defect to PDP – Ahmed

Kwara Governor says they are satisfied with APC.

Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, says he and the Senate President, Bukola Saraki have no plan to return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The governor said this in an interview with newsmen in Abuja on Sunday.

Ahmed said they had no reason to leave APC now, adding that they were happy with the ruling party and committed to utilizing its platform for service delivery to the people.

The governor said, “It is very unlikely for us to return to the PDP because we are not unhappy with where we are in terms of expectations, service delivery and direction of governance.

“When you are already working towards achieving result, you will want to see that the result get to the people before you will begin to say you want to jump boat.

“We don’t have any reason to jump boat for now. Don’t forget that we left the PDP because we had reasons to do so. We don’t have reasons to leave now. We have reason to see that service delivery is given to the people.

“We are committed to ensuring it gets to the people. When I used the word ‘we,’ it is inclusive of the Senate President. We are fully committed to using the instrumentality of the APC to deliver service to the people and we have a strong direction. It will be foolhardy to abandon that, leave and go and start all over again. When I say ‘we,’ I am talking about the political group in Kwara.”

Ahmed therefore, said that former President Goodluck Jonathan made them defect from PDP to APC because he did not inaugurate any project in Kwara State.
