Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed has said he left the All Progressives Congress (APC) not because of personal gains.
Ahmed last week left the APC alongside Senate President Bukola Saraki for the People Democratic Party (PDP).
The Governor spoke in Ilorin on Tuesday when he received the National Executive of Oro Descendents Union (ODU) at the Government House.
Ahmed said he dumped the APC when it became obvious that the people of the state “who delivered a 100% electoral victory to the APC were continuously being marginalized and persecuted.
“If it were for personal gains, I wouldn’t have left the APC as a sitting governor.
“The Senate President would also have been contented with the coveted position of the Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
