The Governor of Gombe State, Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo has described
Governor of Sokoto, Aminu Tambuwal’s stay in the All Progressives
Congress, APC as ‘Sabbatical leave’
Dankwambo said this in reaction to the news of Tambuwal’s defection to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The Gombe Governor writing on his Twitter page welcomed APC National
Publicity secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi after his defection from the
ruling party.
“I wholeheartedly welcome back two of our finest men Tambuwal and
Bolaji Abdullahi who went on ‘sabbatical leave’ to the All Progressives
Congress.
“Glad you are finally back home.Power to the People,” he tweeted.
DAILY POST reported that Abdullahi on Wednesday defected to the APC a day after Senate President, Bukola Saraki announced his resignation from the party.
On why he defected from APC, Abdullahi wrote: “In the last few days, I
have had to endure the flagrant usurpation of my role as the spokesman
of the party in a manner that I consider unbefitting of a ruling party
and inconsistent with my ethical standards.
“I have served the APC honestly and to the best of my ability and
when I stood for and won my election at the last convention, it was a
keen desire to continue to do so.
“However, in a situation whereby my loyalty is constantly brought
into question; my subordinates deployed to subvert my office; and my
views constantly second-guessed on the basis of my political
affiliation, it has become imperative for me to review my position.”
