The Deputy Governor of Niger State, Ahmed Musa Ibeto, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Eagleonline reports.
Ibeto who lost the PDP governorship ticket to Ahmed Nasko today announced he was leaving the PDP due to the injustice melted out to him and other contestants in the state party primaries.
Ibeto said, “I am on my way to welcome our party leader and presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, at Minna Airport for his campaign rally in Niger State.”
“It is true we are defecting to APC because the primaries conducted were not in accordance wirth the PDP constitution. Myself and other aggrieved party members decided to petition the National Headquaters of the party on the outcome of the governorship primaries with a view to addressing the obvious injustice but met a brickwall.
