Reps Member Daniel Amos Dumps PDP for APC

Daniel Amos, the lawmaker representing Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has formally defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Amos announced his resignation from the PDP in a letter addressed to the party chairman in Jagindi Ward, Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State, stating that his decision takes immediate effect.

“I write to formally tender my resignation from the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, with immediate effect,” the letter read.

Amos, who expressed appreciation to the PDP for the platform and opportunity to serve, said he had remained loyal to the party but could no longer ignore the internal challenges that had persisted within its ranks.

“It has become increasingly evident that the perennial crises and unresolved internal divisions that continue to bedevil the party, particularly at the national level, have made it difficult to pursue collective progress and uphold the principles of unity and purpose upon which the party was founded,” he said.

The lawmaker explained that his move followed extensive consultations with supporters and stakeholders, stressing that his defection aligns with the aspirations of his constituents for effective representation and meaningful development.

He thanked PDP leaders and members in Kaduna State and across his constituency for their support, adding that he remains committed to working with all who share a vision for the advancement of the state and Nigeria.

Speaking to journalists in Kafanchan on Friday ahead of a mass defection of PDP members from Southern Kaduna to the APC, Amos said the move would bring political and developmental benefits to the region, Kaduna State and the country.

He assured that he and other defectors would collaborate with the ruling party to ensure Southern Kaduna benefits from federal and state government programmes.
