The Senator representing Southern Kaduna, Senator Caleb Zagi, has defected from the All Progressives Congress.

Senator Zagi added, “This is because the All Progressive Congress, APC, does not wish our people well. We gave them our full support and rallied round them at the last elections, but the party got into power and chose to run a government of the few, by the few and for the few, totally sidelining a large followership.

“The All Progressive Congress, APC, has also proven that it cannot maintain its internal democracy and so cannot be trusted with our national democracy.

“I have, therefore, come to the conclusion that, it will be selfish of me and a total disservice to our good people to continue to stand alone than to stand with the people who do not value democracy and accountability.

“For these reasons, l hereby resign from the All Progressives Congress, APC.”
