Senator Masaud Doguwa has defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano state to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The lawmaker announced his defection in a formal statement.
Doguwa has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of lacking focus and pursuing anti-people policies, which he claims have sunk the nation into poverty.
According to the statement, he and his supporters left the APC because they felt underutilized and the party had implemented anti-people policies.
He stated that, despite their extensive political experience, they were rarely active in party forums to share their knowledge and contribute to the APC’s progress.
“In politics, if you fail to engage highly experienced politicians by providing them with political assignments, you are making them politically redundant, and giving them room to struggle and engage themselves elsewhere.
“This is because highly experienced politicians don’t want to stay idle,’’ the statement said.
He further expressed disappointment with the APC government’s policies, which he believed were harmful to ordinary citizens.
“After careful appraisal, I have discovered that some of the policies are anti-people-oriented and do not align with our political ideology.
“These policies are causing more harm and concern than good to the ordinary and common citizens of the country.
“From what we have seen happening in APC, we have not seen light in the tunnel where an ordinary man, big or small, will sigh a relief from the burden of life with the APC approach on issues,” he added.
