APC chieftain, Senator Doguwa, defects to PDP

A prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, Senator Masaud Doguwa, has defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The announcement was made in a statement signed by Doguwa and distributed to newsmen on Friday.
Doguwa’s defection comes on the heels of his sharp criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, accusing it of a lack of focus and implementing policies detrimental to the populace, which he claims have driven the nation into deeper poverty.
In the statement, Doguwa expressed feelings of underutilisation within the APC and dissatisfaction with the party’s direction.
He noted that despite their extensive political experience, he and his supporters were seldom involved in key party forums, limiting their ability to contribute effectively to the party’s development.
“In politics, if you fail to engage highly experienced politicians by providing them with political assignments, you are making them politically redundant, and giving them room to struggle and engage themselves elsewhere,” the statement read.
The senator did not mince words about his disappointment with the APC government’s policies, which he argued are harmful to ordinary citizens.
“After careful appraisal, I have discovered that some of the policies are anti-people-oriented and do not align with our political ideology,” Doguwa stated.
He further elaborated, “These policies are causing more harm and concern than good to the ordinary and common citizens of the country. From what we have seen happening in APC, we have not seen light in the tunnel where an ordinary man, big or small, will sigh a relief from the burden of life with the APC approach on issues.”
