Governorship aspirant in the 2019 and former House of Representatives member, Ahmed Wadada has defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Aggrieved Wadada alleged that there is no justice in the All Progressive Congress APC in the state.
Ahmed Wadada had earlier announced his resignation from the the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State as member
Wadada said he was forced to dump the APC following controversy that trailed the recently conducted Nasarawa West Senatorial District primary election.
Speaking at a rally organised for his defection on Tuesday in Keffi Local Government Area, the former lawmaker told his supporters his intention to contest for the Nasarawa West Senatorial District seat at the National Assembly during the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
“The kind of projects I have for my people are the same kind of projects I carried out for them when I was a member of the House of Representatives, which is why they are all in support of me.
“I have added value to human capacity. I represented them very well in the past and helped bring civilisation to the people,” he said.
“I feel fulfilled and much more challenged because for God to bless me with this size of supporters, I have no option than to respect their demands.
“Where there is no justice, the society cannot be better. So there is no justice in APC. I know I have the people with me that’s why I opted for a different platform so as to enable me actualize my dreams.
“I am one politician that has always related, associated with the people whether I am in office or not and somebody out there feels it is time to do whatever he can and went ahead to change, doctored and manipulate the delegates’ list, which of course I chose not to go with that illegality,” he said.
Wadada however defected alongside Jonathan Gaza, a two-term serving member of the House of Representatives representing Karu/Keffi/Kokona Federal Constituency.
