\u201cI eventually took the membership of the PDP on Feb. 2, 2021.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Dandarde, who cited bad governance as his reason for leaving the ruling party in the state, accused the APC-led administration of causing division among people of the state.<\/p>\n

Danbarde also accused the state government of not investing in the youths and women of the state.<\/p>\n
