the defection of one of its senators to the All Progressives Congress
(APC).

The former Governor of Plateau State, Joshua Dariye, on Thursday,
September 22, officialy left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on
whose platform he was first elected governor and then elected to the
National Assembly to represent Plateau Central senatorial district.
The former governor who defected from the PDP to Labour Party in
2011, where he contested the senatorial election, and returned to the
PDP in 2014, saying that his decision to rejoin the party was because he
was a founding member, has explained why he dumped the PDP, for the
ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In his latest defection letter to the senate president, he said, “after due consultations with my constituency, I write to notify you of my intention to cross over from the PDP to the APC.
“My decision is informed by the protracted division at the
national level of the PDP that led to the massive movement of my
supporters to the APC.
“Arising from this, I therefore write to formally inform you of
my decision to go along with my supporters. I thank you for your
understanding.”
Fielding questions later from journalists, Dariye said his decision
to dump the PDP was informed by the crack in the party, adding that
most of his constituents had defected to the ruling APC and that he
wanted to be with his constituents for effective representation.
“My people in the PDP have moved to the APC and there is no need to remain alone,” he said.
Joshua Dariye, who chairs the Senate Committee on Public
Procurement, reiterated his commitment to serve the people of his
constituency.
