Drama as Hon. Jagaba dumps APC, announces self as PDP member

There was a mild drama on the floor of the House of
Representatives on Thursday when a member from Kaduna State, Jagaba
Adams Jagaba, announced himself as a PDP member.

Jagaba, who came to the House under the ruling APC, recently
announced in Kaduna that he was dumping the party to the opposition
PDP.

But he is yet to make a formal announcement to that effect,
which is supposed to be presented to Speaker Yakubu Dogara to be
read at plenary

However, Jagaba while introducing himself preparatory to making
a contribution to a motion said: “I’m Hon Jagaba Adams Jagaba and
I’m of the PDP.”

Dogara immediately said: “No, no, Jagaba. You can’t do this to
me.”

This made the PDP members to chant their party’s name in
jubilation, while members of the APC shouted “no, no.”

The atmosphere lasted for some minutes before normalcy
returned.

Dogara then remarked that: “The truth is that I’m not aware and
the House is not aware. As a ranking member, you know what to do.
So, as far as we’re concerned, you’re still a member of APC.”
