The All Progressives Congress, APC, Bauchi State chapter yesterday said that immediate past Governor of the state, Malam Isa Yuguda must follow due processes if he wants to join the party.
Mr. Yuguda announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, last week with speculations surrounding his next political move.
The Bauchi APC spokesman, Awwalu Jalla, who spoke during a chat with newsmen in Gombe Thursday, however, said Yuguda’s joining the APC would not have much relevance.
“The party is aware of who really he is, and how the then ANPP uplifted him from the grass to grace but he later betrayed it”, he said.
“APC as a party is not desperate in welcoming him. The party has a constitution whereby no executive member is allowed to accept any individual to the folds of the party without following due process. One must go to his APC ward executives with an application to be cleared and approved before becoming a member”, Jalla added.
The party spokesman also debunked the rumour that state executives of the APC had asked Yuguda to join them.
“The public should disregard any information regarding the party welcoming Yuguda. There is a committee that handles issues relating to defections”, he said.
