On his part, the APC chairman in the state, Dr. Aliyu Bello, described the defection of the lawmaker as a “homecoming.”

He assured the lawmaker of equal privileges, rights, and treatment in the party.

” I write to inform you of my immediate resolution to defect from my former party, NNPP to APC in Nassarawa State.

” As a member of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly  I’m duty bound to make laws that will impact on the lives of my constituents,” he said.
