The senator representing Bauchi South Senatorial District, Shehu Buba, has reportedly defected from the All Progressives Congress to the Peoples Redemption Party following his withdrawal from the APC governorship race in Bauchi State.
The development comes days after the senator announced his withdrawal from the APC governorship contest, citing alleged irregularities and constitutional breaches in the conduct of the party’s primaries in the state.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Communications, Sabo Muhammad, the senator accused some party officials of manipulating the primaries process by allegedly announcing predetermined results without conducting actual voting exercises.
“The party officials have practically been hijacked by persons who do not mean well for the party, having allowed themselves to be caged at undisclosed hotels in Bauchi State without appearing at the elections’ venues but releasing predetermined results,” the statement read.
