The Youth Leader of the United Kingdom chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Usman Tijjani Shehu, has dumped the ruling party for the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
Shehu confirmed his resignation in a letter addressed to the ward chairman of the APC in Kabo Local Government Area, Kano State. and copied to the United Kingdom chapter of the party
The former youth leader, who is an aspirant for the House of Representatives for Kabo/Gwarzo Federal Constituency, said he decided to dump the party for the fact that it has failed Nigerians and couldn’t fulfil its campaign promises.
He accused the ruling party of sabotaging the overall development of the country, and not giving opportunities to young Nigerians.
“Presently in the country, there are no jobs, ASUU is on strike, there are security challenges, lack of health care facilities, poor economy and lack of youth inclusion in governance,” he said.
