Former Minority Leader in the Senate, Senator Philip Aduda, who resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, has formally declared for the All Progressives Congress.

Aduda was accompanied to the ruling party’s national secretariat on Tuesday by the chairman of Bwari Area Council, Hon. Joshua Ishakwu, and his Kuje Area Council counterpart, Hon. Danjuma Shekwkolo.

Speaking with newsmen after his closed-door meeting with the National Chairman of the APC, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, Senator Aduda said his movement to the ruling party was aimed at boosting the chances of President Tinubu in the Federal Capital Territory in the forthcoming general elections.

He confessed that he actually worked for the candidates of the APC in the last February FCT Area Councils elections.

He said: “You can see at the last area council elections what happened. We collaborated and came together, and we had five out of six. And I can assure you that it will be six out of six, by the grace of God, at some point. And by the special grace of God, we will deliver for Mr President from 2027.”

His host and National Chairman of the APC, Professor Yilwatda, described Senator Aduda as an asset to the APC in the North-Central region.

“So I want to welcome him to the fold, and we are happy that we have him. And for sure, with him coming in, the North Central is packed, packaged and will be delivered in 2027.”
