Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the Chief of Staff to the President of the Senate Bukola Saraki, on Monday dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ahmed who was appointed by Saraki in 2017, however said that his decision had nothing to do with Saraki, stressing that it was difficult to leave the APC. He said he took the decision after due consultation with members of his Akida faction of APC in Kaduna.
The Akida faction also has Sen. Shehu Sani, as member. Sen. Sani has also threatened to leave the APC. Baba-Ahmed, while addressing journalists in Kaduna today said he has sent a letter of withdrawal from APC to the party chairman. He explained that he was not leaving APC to join another party but because the party had performed poorly.
