Sunday Katung, senator representing Kaduna south, has announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Katung said the decision followed weeks of consultations with constituents, political stakeholders, family members, and associates.
He described the move as one of the most difficult but necessary choices of his political career.
“The past few weeks have been incredibly demanding yet profoundly reflective moments of my public life,” he said in a statement on Saturday.
Katung explained that his defection was driven by a desire to serve his people more effectively and ensure their voices are heard at the highest levels of decision-making.
“This realignment is driven by a genuine desire to serve our people more effectively and ensure that our voices are heard and respected at the highest decision-making tables where the destinies of our communities are being shaped,” he said.
