Newscenter Media News Nigerian aviation expert and youth activist, Isaac Balami, has dumped the Labour Party, LP, and returned to his former party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Balami, a former National Deputy Campaign Manager for Obi/Datti in the 2023 presidential election, made this known on Wednesday while addressing journalists in Abuja.
Balami, who dumped the ruling party in 2023 over the Muslim-Muslim ticket of President Bola Tinubu and his vice, Kashim Shettima, said the president’s administration has proved him wrong.
He said the Muslim-Muslim ticket was the major crux of crossing to the Labour Party, but he has now seen that it actually means nothing.
The former National President for Aircraft Pilots and Engineers said, “No president has ever worked with the Middle Belt like President Bola Tinubu,” he highlighted areas where the administration has done well, including appointing credible Nigerians with more emphasis on equity.
Balami said: “That was not what I saw when I left. I now see a better party and a better government. I can see a Nigeria that, in a few years, will thrive and I think it is only important for us to work with APC in its effort to rescue this country.
“Consequently, after consulting widely with leaders across Nigeria, the middle-belt caucus, my parents and my immediate family, it becomes expedient that I resign from the Labour Party. I will now return to the APC.”
