Although he did not state reasons for dumping the party, his supporters who spoke with our correspondent alleged that APC leadership in the state has taken side with the incumbent Governor of the state, Alhaji Inuwa Yahaya to the detriment of the party.
Ayuba Hassan, who is one of the close supporters of Jamilu Gwamna said that in some local government areas visited by Governor Yahaya, stakeholders and party executives endorsed the Governor for a second time.
According to him, that was an indication that the party would not provide a fair playing ground for all governorship aspirants in the next primary elections.
