Senator Ahmed Hassan Barata, representing Adamawa South in the Senate, has defected from the PDP to the APC. The senator said he took the decision following wide consultation with his constituents.

In a chat with Daily Trust, he said he decided to join forces with the 11 former PDP Senators who are now in the APC to save Nigeria and the country’s democracy from the danger of dictatorship.

His defection from the PDP is coming on heels of attempts by Senate President David Mark to block moves by 11 former PDP Senators to officially decamp to the APC. 

Senator Barata’s said he is not scared by alleged threats to declare their seats vacant by the leadership and he will not succumb to threat or financial inducement from PDP agents.

He stressed that the battle to rescue Nigeria from 15 years of PDP misrule is open for all Nigerians.
