A former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Nasarawa State, Mr David Ombugadu, has left the All Progressives Congress (APC) due to the party’s inability to open its e-registration portal for his supporters.
Ombugadu, who contested the 2019 and 2023 governorship elections on the PDP platform, stated this on Thursday during a visit to the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Lafia.
He said the closure of the registration portal made it difficult for his supporters and associates to formally join the APC, thereby hindering his political aspirations within the party.
“When I joined the APC, I did not demand to produce ward executives or seek any position at the party level.

“My request was for the party to open its e-registration portal to enable my supporters to register as members, but the portal remained closed,” he said.
Ombugadu explained that his decision to leave the APC after a brief stay was informed by the need to actualise his governorship ambition.
He announced his return to the PDP and declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election on the party’s platform.
“I am fully back to the PDP. We have the people and a workable blueprint to deliver development to the state,” he added.
