Nigerian Aviation expert and youth activist, Comrade Isaac Balami has dumped Labour Party, LP, and returned to his former party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Balami, who was a former National Deputy Campaign Manager for Obi/Datti in the 2023 presidential election disclosed this in a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.
Giving his reasons for going back to the APC, Balami stated that “it was only reasonable to revisit his decisions after the mess he encountered in the LP compared to the one year of Tinubu’s administration.”
He said “Tinubu has shocked him in just one year in office with regard to the Muslim-Muslim ticket which he vehemently opposed.”
”The Muslim-Muslim ticket was the major reason i crossed to the LP but that he has now seen that it actually means nothing.”
According to him, “Tinubu has so far empowered more Christian northerners and other Muslim ethnic nationalities since Nigeria returned back to Democracy. There is nothing that trips me like equity and fairness.”
The former National President for Aircraft Pilots and Engineers said: “No president has ever worked with the middle belt like President Bola Tinubu,” highlighting areas the administration has done well, including appointing credible Nigerians with more emphasis on equity…That was not what I saw when I left.
“I now see a better party and a better government. I can see a Nigeria that in a few years will thrive and I think it is only important for us to work with APC in its effort to rescue this country. “Consequently, after consulting widely with leaders across Nigeria, the middle-belt caucus, my parents and my immediate family, it becomes expedient that I resign from the Labour Party. I will now return back to the APC.”
