APC Gov’t Made Me Cry – Ex-Jigawa Deputy Gov

The former Deputy Governor of Jigawa State, Ahmed Mahmoud Gumel, has said that the failure of the All Progressive Congress (APC) made him cry while he was still in the party.

Naija News reports that Gumel had just returned to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The politician was handed his new PDP membership card in Bamaina, the country home of ex-governor Sule Lamido.

Recalling his experience with the ruling party, Gumel was full of pain and regrets.

He acknowledged that the APC administration failed woefully especially in meeting the yearnings and aspirations of the common man.

“I used to shed tears whenever I see how things are happening in APC and remember how things were when we are in government under the Peoples Democratic Party,” Gumel stated noting that it was high time for him to rejoin his party and meet his people to make things better.

“That is why I didn’t tear my old PDP membership card because I know I will come back to my house one day because we build the house,” he said.

He, however, debunked the allegation that he left the party alone.

“I and all my supporters who worked for the success of APC in 2015 and 2019 have quit the party and will work for the victory of PDP in the coming 2023 general election,” he asserted and also affirmed that more prominent politicians in the state will join PDP in the next two weeks.
