They gave reasons why they dumped the APC to include what they called the clear and continued policy of divide and rule; lack of security and safety of lives and property in Northern Nigeria.

They further said that they were swayed and encouraged to leave APC and move to the PDP and support Atiku Abubakar because it has become the norm nationwide, especially among young people and women to seek alignment with him so that Nigeria can work again under Atiku’s leadership.
