Former Acting Governor of Adamawa State, James Barka, on Friday hinted
on dumping the All Progressives Congress, APC for the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP.
Barka explained that his planned defection to PDP was “because of its
plethora of failed promises and lack of credible leadership”.
He made the disclosure while receiving Tahir Shehu, the Adamawa State
PDP Chairman, and other leaders at his residence in Yola, the state
capital.
Barka was a two-time Speaker of Adamawa State, who later became
Acting Governor of the state when Governor Murtala Nyako’s first tenure
was nullified in 2008.
Addressing the PDP delegation, Barka said, “APC has failed Nigerians in a number of ways.
“We left the PDP back then in 2014 because of impunity, but surprisingly, APC has become worse off when it comes to impunity.”
He also scored the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government low in the area of security.
According to Barka, “People should be people of integrity; when you say A, it should be A.
“When you say Chairman, let’s meet tomorrow by 11am, it should be so.
“This is a government I helped to build, spending my resources and
time, but today they hardly recognize whether we exist at all.”
