Former APC aspirant, Adamu Garba joins YPP after raising N83million for forms

One of the presidential aspirants of the ruling party, Adamu Garba, has joined the Young Progressive Party (YPP) hours after dumping the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Garba who was yet to buy the APC presidential nomination form had on Wednesday resigned from the ruling party despite raising N83.2million in donations for the purchase of the form.

He said his decision not to obtain the APC presidential form was due to consultations with his campaign team.

Garba said N81.75 million had been generated from private donations while N1.4 million was generated from online donations, giving a total of N83.2 million.

He subsequently pulled down the APC party’s flag in his office to show his withdrawal of membership from the party.

The politician later apologised to Nigerian youths for his act.

He said he is now a changed person who has realised his mistakes and also ready to move along with Nigerian youths to chat a new course for the future of Nigeria.

Unveiling his new party, Garba wrote on Twitter, “Gentle Ladies and Men, this is the future. Join me in YPP, let’s deliver a NEW DEAL for Nigeria.”
