The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has lost a former commissioner for women affairs, Alhaja Ahmed Nike Taibat, to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Alhaja Ahmed Nike served under the previous administration of Governor Abdulfatai Ahmed.
She was one of the political stakeholders of the PDP in Offa Local Government Area.
In a letter addressed to the chairman of the PDP in Offa LGA, the former commissioner tendered her resignation from the party with immediate effect.
This comes as the state prepares for the gubernatorial and state assembly elections March 11. PDP had suffered huge defeat in Kwara State, as the APC led in the presidential election and retained all the National Assembly seats.
Several officials that served in the previous governments in Kwara State, including personal assistants, special assistants, commissioners, among others, have crossed to the APC, thereby shrinking the ranks of the opposition party.
Alhaja Ahmed Nike has committed to delivering success for Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and other APC candidates in her constituency.
She joins the party with her supporters in Offa community. See resignation letter below:
