Buhari’s Top Minister Bemoans “I Regret Not Wooing Philip Aduda To APC Before LP Tsunami”

• The senator who leads the Senate minority should have joined the All Progressives Congress, according to the Federal Capital Territory minister.
• Philip Aduda defected from the People’s Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress, according to Mohammed Bello of the APC.
• The minister said he regrets not doing that before the Labour Party tsunami struck Aduda’s aspirations for the Senate.

According to Mohammed Bello, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Philip Aduda, the Senate minority leader, regrets not being persuaded to defect from the People’s Democratic Party and join the All Progressives Congress.

It is important for Aduda to carpet cross to the ruling party, the minister reportedly said on Friday, April 21, at the Presidential Villa during the Sallah homage to President Muhammadu Buhari.
