Abdulaziz Danladi, a lawmaker in Nasarawa, has defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Action Alliance (AA).

Mr Danladi, chairman of the House Committee on Works, Transport and Housing, while addressing a crowd of supporters in Keffi on Sunday said he defected due to injustice done to him during the APC primary election.

The lawmaker further explained that he defected to AA to pursue his House of Representatives ambition for Keffi/Kokona/Karu federal constituency at the Nasarawa House of Assembly.

“I have defected to Action Alliance because of injustice done to me by APC. Everybody saw what happened during the recent APC primary election where the delegates list was doctored,” he claimed.
