The former Katsina State Secretary to the State Government (SGS) under the Ex-governor Aminu Masari administration, Dr Mustapha Inuwa, has said that he has no course to regret leaving the All Progressives Congress(APC) to People Democratic Party (PDP) after the gubernatorial primary election....CONTINUE READING
He made this position known while filing questions to some journalists in his house in Katsina yesterday, he said his defection to PDP has helped the party to win six House of Representatives seats and the presidential election, despite the victimisation and the manipulations of votes done in the state.
Inuwa explained,” Before with a seating governor Shehu Shema in 2010, they didn’t win a seat, also when the APC came in the 2019 election, PDP didn’t win any seats, it was 100 per cent APC, but this time when we left the party and joined the PDP, the party was able to win six federal house of representative seats and the presidential election in the state.
“You know what happened in the senatorial election in Katsina, but it was very clear that despite Katsina State being the home state of Mr President Muhammadu Buhari, and with all the people sent from the federal and state government, the money pumped into the election, we were able to defeat them. It is on record that the PDP has the highest votes in Katsina
“So why should I regret it? It was clearly shown that we added value to PDP and it was able to improve, and if not because of what happened within the PDP, we could have done far better.”
He then expressed his happiness for the performance of the PDP in the last election, stressing that he has more confidence in the PDP than the APC in the 2027 election.
Recall that Dr Mustapha Inuwa contested in the last APC gubernatorial primary that produced Governor Umar Dikko Radda as its candidate, he later decamped to PDP following the outcome of the election.
