Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Elders Committee and former Secretary to the Gombe State Government (SSG), Alhaji Bala Magaji, has resigned from PDP and concluded arrangements to formally join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The influential elder statesman met with Gombe State Governor, Alhaji Muhammadu Yahaya, at Government House, Gombe, in company with APC governorship candidate, Dr. Jamilu Gwamna, where he perfected plans for his formal defection.

During the meeting, on Wednesday, Magaji praised Yahaya’s visionary leadership, inclusive style of governance and impressive developmental strides, describing his performance in office as a major factor behind his decision.

His resignation was conveyed in a letter addressed to Chairman of PDP in Dawaki Ward, Gombe Local Government Area.

In the letter, the former SSG expressed appreciation to PDP for the opportunity to serve in various capacities since 2003.

However, he said the prevailing circumstances within the party no longer aligned with his convictions and expectations.

Quoting the maxim, “Conscience is an open wound; only truth can heal it,” Magaji announced his resignation not only as a member of PDP but also as Chairman of the party’s Elders Committee, with immediate effect.
