Senator Florence Ita Giwa has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and announced her return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to a statement issued on Thursday evening, the one-time Senate Deputy Minority Leader regretted abandoning the PDP for the APC which she described as the home of confusion.
Giwa said despite having a forthright President, Muhammadu Buhari and an intelligent Vice President like Prof. Yomi Osinbajio, the recent happenings in the ruling party showed that it was in complete disarray and confusion.
She lamented that in her over three decades of active participation in politics, she had never witnessed the kind of confusion she met while she was in the APC.
The statement read in part: “I cannot understand why out of sheer negligence a party will not be able to present candidates for elections in several key states nationwide.
“I cannot understand how any party will have in its ranks popular and trusted leaders who can muster tremendous goodwill for the party and yet treats them with disdain”.
She alleged that the ruling party has been factionalized from the wards to the national level, stressing that these developments demonstrated how difficult it has become for the ruling party to organize itself before the 2019 polls.
Senator Giwa, who is popularly called Mama Bakassi maintained that she would prefer to swim or sink with her original home, the PDP as it would currently be impossible for the APC to defeat the PDP in any fairly organized and credible election.
She therefore enjoined her supporters to join her as she returns to the PDP and work assiduously towards ensuring victory for the opposition party at all levels.
