Joel Ikenya, a former minister of labour and productivity during the tenure of former President Goodluck Jonathan, on Monday declared his intention to join force with the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC)
Speaking with Journalists in Jalingo, capital of Taraba, Joel said: “My reasons for decamping from the PDP to pitched tent with the ruling party are based on the many achievements the president has recorded within his first one year in office.
“The success he achieved in restoring peace to the troublesome north-east zone alone is something we cannot shy away from no matter our political party differences.
“Buhari’s fight against corrupt practices is also one of the major factors that motivated me to dump my former political party to the ruling APC.
“My supporters and I will support Mr President because a close look at his appointments will show you that no region benefited from his appointments like the north-east.
“I want to use this platform to call on citizens from the northeast region to put aside sentiments and support the president in reciprocity for all the good things he has done for us.”
