Senator Kaila, in a letter written to the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, and read in plenary on Tuesday, cited the unending crisis in PDP as the major reason for his defection.
According to him, his decision to leave the PDP was driven by the party’s internal challenges, which had “gravely constrained” his ability to serve his constituents effectively.
The letter read in part, “The Peoples Democratic Party have gravely constrained my ability to discharge my constitutional responsibilities effectively and in good conscience.
“As one deeply committed to the service of our nation and the welfare of my people, I have found it necessary to realign my political engagements with a more progressive platform that embodies good governance, unity, progress, growth, and discipline in the governance of our country.”
Sanator Kaila said his move to the ruling APC was motivated by President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing reforms, which he described as “bold and transformative”.
He said, “Consequently, I have chosen to join the All Progressives Congress, APC, and to lend my full commitment to the reforms of His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu.
“I hold in high regard the bold and transformative reforms initiated by the President, aimed at restoring economic stability, strengthening governance, and repositioning our nation for sustainable growth.”
According to him, Tinubu’s leadership represents the kind of “decisive” direction Nigeria needs to move forward.
Samaila concluded by pledging loyalty to his new party and reaffirming his commitment to national unity and development.
