The Presidency was thrown into shock on Saturday evening, as Nasiru Usman, the Treasurer of President Muhammadu Buhari’s home town, the Katsina State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, decamped to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, along with 4,000 others.
Speaking on behalf of other defectors, Usman said that they decided to jump ship, because the APC had neglected them.
“It is a fact that I led many others in the struggle that ensured victory for the APC, in the 2015 general election.
“I campaigned vigorously against the then PDP candidate, Musa Nashuni, who is from my own Local Government – Kankia – and ensured he lost even his village, to Aminu Masari of APC.
“However, after the polls and the subsequent assumption of Masari as Governor of Katsina State, majority of us were neglected by the APC.
“In my own case, some party stalwarts in Kankia, went to the party’s State headquarters and ensured that I was suspended from its fold, for reasons best known to them.
“I have been on suspension for 14 months, with the State office refusing to recall me, as directed by the North-West Zonal Chapter of the party, following my successful petition against the illegal action,” he said.
“We left the party because of neglect. The 4,000 people defecting with me, are from the 10 political wards of Kankia,” he added.
