Honourable Fatuhu Muhammed, a nephew to the President, Major General, Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has explained his decision to dump the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Punch Metro reported that the lawmaker, who represents the Daura/Mai’Adua/Sandamu Federal Constituency of Katsina State in the National Assembly, decamped to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.

His move came after failing to secure his re-election ticket after polling 30 votes, while Aminu Jamo, his rival secured 117 votes, according to Daily Trust.

However, while explaining the decision to leave the APC, Muhammed told newsmen that he dumped the ruling party because his rival allegedly ‘abused’ his father.

“I received an audio recording where their candidate (Jamo) called my father, Alhaji Mamman Dan Baffalo, by name and abused him. Alhaji Mamman Dan Baffallo and President Buhari are of the same father and mother.

“Out of the 26 children born by their father, they are the only males that are from the same father and mother. So, abusing my father is abusing the president.

“So, I said since the issue has gone beyond politics to denigrating the dignity of my parents, I cannot take it any longer, and it is not binding on me to stay in the party, so I decided to leave.”
