Abraham Stephen Ajiya abandoned the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress during Thursday proceedings in Abuja. The Federal Capital Territory politician blamed persistent organizational problems and weak leadership direction within the opposition movement. Ajiya previously sought the North Central Vice-Chairmanship position before announcing his departure through public statements. Extensive discussions with advisors preceded his decision to switch political affiliations.
Party officials manipulated electoral processes during the Jos zonal competition according to Ajiya's allegations. Leaders pressured him to withdraw from the race while favoring a candidate with fewer qualifications. Legal challenges produced no meaningful outcomes despite his efforts to contest the unfair treatment. Same-day appeal verdicts occurred without proper notification to affected participants.
The politician views APC membership as superior for advancing his Federal Capital Territory agenda. Political marginalization within PDP structures motivated his search for alternative platforms. APC affiliation offers better opportunities for public service according to his assessment.
