Group Commends Southern Kaduna Politicians’ Defection To APC

Supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, under the aegis of BAT Support Group, have commended Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani’s governance style for reversing the fortune of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Southern Kaduna.

This followed the defection of hundreds of people from different political parties led by Senator Danjuma Laar and Hon Godfrey Ali Gaiya, a former member of the House of Representatives.

A statement by the group blamed the APC’s lack of a foothold in Southern Kaduna on former governor Nasir El-Rufai, whom they blamed for highhandedness, exclusion of the zone from development, and ignoring insecurity in the zone under the guise of politics.

The group’s executive director, Chief Atoyebi Bamidele, assured the defectors that they were welcome to the party, having taken the right step. He added that having come under the president’s umbrella, they would enjoy all the fruits of his care and political kindness, which he said had started with the siting of a university in the area.

“It is trite that success has extended family and relations while failure is an orphan; that will be a fair attempt at explaining what is happening in Kaduna State, with the latest trooping into the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

Southern Kaduna used to be a bastion of opposition, to the extent that the former administration of the diminutive Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, in frustration, allowed insecurity to fester there because he couldn’t get a foothold there. He has now turned to the APC.

“BAT Ideological Group (BIG), therefore, is happy to welcome them to the party with the assurance that they are now part of a big family under the Umbrella of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who will ensure that their suffering and suppression stops.

“That has already started with the approval of a university in the area, ” the group stated.

Assuring them that it was an opportunity to right the wrongs inflicted on the area in the past, they commended the government of Uba Sani for playing better politics than his predecessor.

“Your coming to the party is a testament to the good administrative strategy of President Tinubu, and it shows that as the father of all, he will continue to ensure national cohesion and protect every part of the country as father of the nation,” he added.
