Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed deep disappointment over the recent defection of Hon. Sulaiman Abubakar Gummi from the party to the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

The party said that the decision was not only a betrayal of the PDP, but also a betrayal of the trust placed in him by the people of Gummi\/Bukkuyum, who elected him under the party\u2019s banner.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement issued by the party\u2019s publicity secretary in the State, Andi Haliru and made available to newsmen in Gusau.<\/p>\n

The statement added that Hon. Gummi\u2019s defection came without any internal crisis, highlighting a lack of commitment to the ideals and values that the PDP stands for.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe firmly believe that his actions undermine the democratic process and the mandate entrusted to him by the constituents.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn response to this breach of trust, the PDP state chapter will be taking legal action to challenge Hon. Gummi\u2019s defection<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are determined to ensure that the mandate given to him by the people of Gummi\/Bukkuyum is rightfully restored.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to assure the good people of Gummi and Bukkuyum Local Government Areas that the PDP remains strong and united.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur commitment to serving you and upholding your interests will not waver.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will fight vigorously to reclaim the trust that has been compromised by this decision,\u201d the party stated.<\/p>\n
