Prof. Kwaja Leaves PDP

A top member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and special envoy on peace and security to the government of Plateau Plateau State, Professor Chris Kwaja, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Prof. Kwaja registered in his Gurum ward, Bassa local government area of the state, alongside his supporters with prominent APC members in attendance.

Speaking with newsmen after the reception, he  said President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to promote peace and unity across the nation made a significant impact on his decision to join the party.

According to him, Nigeria’s current position necessitates collaboration with the president to address the country’s insecurity, and while the government is doing its best, its efforts must be complemented.

“President Tinubu has demonstrated tenacity and made efforts to realign the nation’s economy, and the benefits are becoming apparent. As part of my efforts to support Mr. President’s peace-building initiatives and his administration’s strategic attempts to realign the nation, I defected to the APC,” he said.

Welcoming him into the party, the APC chairman of Gurum Ward, Alhaji Rilwanu Usman, described Kwaja’s entry as a historic moment, citing his capacity and influence as assets that would strengthen the party at the grassroots.
