August 02, (THEWILL) – A former member of the House of Representatives and steering committee member of the Tinubu Support Group (TSG) in Borno State, Abdu Musa Msheliza, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Msheliza, who is also a two-term member of the Borno State House of Assembly, representing Hawul State Constituency and later represented Askira Uba/Hawul Federal Constituency in the National Assembly.
The politician, who has already obtained his membership card of the PDP, said: “I am a lover of justice, fairness, equity and consultative decision-making processes in every leadership selection process, and the people should take center stage in deciding who they elect as their leaders, and not somebody or some people sitting somewhere picking and appointing who is presented as candidates in a democratic Nigeria of 21st century”, Msheliza said while giving reasons for leaving the APC.
“As such, I hate the politics of suppression, and subjugation, where democrats cannot be allowed to test their popularity freely and openly.
“That is the reason for leaving the ruling APC for the PDP where ownership of leadership selection processes belongs to the people.
This, he said necessitated his exit even after being appointed as a key steering committee member of the Tinubu Support Group for 2023 general elections.”
Msheliza promised to deploy his entire campaign network in his immediate constituency and the entire state to ensure they work together with the teaming supporters and Stakeholders of PDP in Borno State to deliver the state to PDP in 2023.
He called on the good people of Borno State to reject any form of intimidation, imposition, threat, and rigging by participating actively in the election right at their polling units and demanding fairness and justice at every level.
“This is the price citizens must pay to safeguard democratic principles that give birth to good governance through sound leadership”, he said.
