The Governor of Gombe State, Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo has described Governor of Sokoto, Aminu Tambuwal’s stay in the All Progressives Congress, APC as ‘Sabbatical leave’
Dankwambo said this in reaction to the news of Tambuwal’s defection to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The Gombe Governor writing on his Twitter page welcomed APC National Publicity secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi after his defection from the ruling party.
“I wholeheartedly welcome back two of our finest men Tambuwal and Bolaji Abdullahi who went on ‘sabbatical leave’ to the All Progressives Congress.
“Glad you are finally back home.Power to the People,” he tweeted.
DAILY POST reported that Abdullahi on Wednesday defected to the APC a day after Senate President, Bukola Saraki announced his resignation from the party.
On why he defected from APC, Abdullahi wrote: “In the last few days, I have had to endure the flagrant usurpation of my role as the spokesman of the party in a manner that I consider unbefitting of a ruling party and inconsistent with my ethical standards.
“I have served the APC honestly and to the best of my ability and when I stood for and won my election at the last convention, it was a keen desire to continue to do so.
“However, in a situation whereby my loyalty is constantly brought into question; my subordinates deployed to subvert my office; and my views constantly second-guessed on the basis of my political affiliation, it has become imperative for me to review my position.”
