After he failed in his attempt to get the PDP’s governorship ticket during the 2007 general elections, Yuguda defected to the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), where he won the election and shortly afterwards, returned to the PDP.
Yuguda spoke to journalists via telephone on his decision. He said the move decision to leave the PDP was informed by the party’s lack of focus and will to bring development to Nigeria.
Yuguda, in a telephone conversation from Bauchi on Saturday, April 23, said he decided to leave the PDP because the party had lost focus and presently lacked the will to bring development to Nigeria.
The former governor was however mute on the direction of his political future as he failed to disclose his next step.
He said: “Already I have told my supporters that I will not force them to leave PDP. Anybody that wants to remain in PDP is free to do so and whoever wants to move with me is welcome.
“I decided to leave PDP because the party can no longer bring development to Nigeria, it’s unfortunate that the party has lost focus.”
Yuguda prayed for the success of President Muhammadu Buhari in the discharge of his duties as president of Nigeria.
“We must always pray for the success of our leaders because the Holy Quran admonishes people to pray for their leaders to succeed and that is why we should pray for the success of President Buhari’s administration,” he said.
Immediately after his conversation with journalists, some of his supporters trooped to the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Bauchi where they publicly tore their PDP membership cards.
Reacting to Yuguda’s defection, a public affairs analyst, Nonso Nwachukwu told newsmen that Yuguda is seeking for political relevance.
“You know the typical Nigerian politician. He probably know he is finished politically and he is about to join the APC.
“I am not surprised, he has no more influence, no more power and he is seeking relevance in the present political dispensation.
“Another reason might be that he is avoiding being probed by the present occupier of the Bauchi state government house,” the expert said.
