Ex-Senator Adamu Talba defects to PDP

Adamu Talba, a former Yobe State South District Senator, has left the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Reports state that Talba said he is exiting the APC because of the “injustice” suffered in the recent primary elections.

“I have resolved to defect from the APC to the PDP because of the injustices we experienced in our former party, the APC, and the people of my Yobe South district and my teeming followers throughout the state,” he declared at the PDP National Secretariat, in Abuja.

“We have to leave the party and rejoin my former political party (PDP) where we feel we would be accommodated and mistreated because they misled and treated unfairly those who supported my political ideology,” he added.

They elected Talba as Senator from May 29, 2007, to May 2011.

As Senator, in September 2008, he advocated for establishing a National Desert Commission to tackle desert encroachment in the northern part of the country.
