JOS (9News Nigeria) – Former Plateau State House of Assembly speaker, Hon. Abok Nuhu Ayuba has made statements straightening reasons why he decamped from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
In a statement signed by his media aide and made available to 9News Nigeria Jos correspondent, Samuel Kaze, Hon Ayuba officially tendered his letter of membership withdrawal to the APC, while presenting a letter of intent, seeking to return to his earlier party PDP at the party local Government secretariat in Angware, Jos East Local Government, Plateau State
He added that his action became necessary in order to save the local Government and the State from failed leadership that will lead to a state of total collapse if allowed.
” I stand before you, deeply touched and inspired by your generous words of acceptance and encouragement, with boundless gratitude for the confidence you placed in me, I hereby wish to extend my deepest respect and appreciation to all the leaders, faithful, and the people all together for your strong support”
While reacting, Chairman, PDP Jos East, Hon Izang Ishaya Adamu said “Rt. Hon. Abok is the best person we have expected. His unwavering dedication to Justice, principles, and leadership experience is crucial to the party’s organizational unity and progress towards winning elections not only in Jos East but in Plateau and Nigeria. We are delighted he is back to our team”
The PDP family welcomes Abok as a leader in Jos East. He comes with extensive experience and strategic leadership skills.
We are delighted he is bringing his expertise and energy to the table for our party’s important mission ahead.
He will be a critical part of the party’s leadership team and will bring tremendous experience to our efforts in raising our voices in support of freedom and democracy in Nigeria”
“Abok has proven his worth in the State House of Assembly as a unified, progressive, all-inclusive and visionary leader who holds his people’s aspirations and conditions dearly. A defender of democratic principle and plateau heritage, even as it cost him his exalted office. We are happy to receive him today” He said.
It could be recalled that Hon. Abok was impeached as the speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly following a vote by some lawmakers of the Assembly under the umbrella of the APC and Rt. Hon Yakubu Sanda, representing the Pengana constituency was elected by members as the new Speaker.
