The pioneer National Chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change, Senator Rufai Hanga, on Tuesday led the remaining members of the faction of the party to join the Peoples Democratic Movement.
Hanga made this known in Abuja on Tuesday while addressing newsmen on the position of the members who did not join the All Progressives Congress.
He said that the group decided to join the PDM because it had a track record of democracy and a manifesto that was aimed at improving the welfare of Nigerians.
Hanga and his supporters had been at loggerhead with the executives of the defunct CPC since he lost the chairmanship election to Prince Tony Momoh.
Hanga said that his faction had experienced “impunity and dictatorship” at the highest level while in CPC.
According to him, there is no other party in Nigeria today which abides by values of justice and equal treatment for all like PDM.
“Above all, we have confidence in the party’s leadership, its commitment to do justice to all as well as its pledge to treat all party members equally without discrimination of any kind,” he said.
Hanga said they decided to join the PDM regardless of the outcome of a court’s judgment in a case instituted by his faction against the Momoh-led executive, due to be delivered on Monday.
