Labour Party chieftain, Isaac Balami has dumped the party to return to his former party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The aviation expert made this known in his address to journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, July 17.

Balami, a former National Deputy Campaign Manager for Obi/Datti in the 2023 presidential election said the current administration has proven him wrong after he quit the party for presenting a Muslim-Muslim ticket in the elections.

According to him, the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC that featured President Bola Tinubu and his vice, Kashim Shettima was the major reason he joined the Labour Party, but he has now seen that it means nothing.

The former National President for Aircraft Pilots and Engineers said, “No president has ever worked with the Middle Belt like President Bola Tinubu,” he highlighted areas where the administration has done well, including appointing credible Nigerians with more emphasis on equity.

Balami said: “That was not what I saw when I left. I now see a better party and a better government. I can see a Nigeria that, in a few years, will thrive and I think it is only important for us to work with APC in its effort to rescue this country.

“Consequently, after consulting widely with leaders across Nigeria, the middle-belt caucus, my parents and my immediate family, it becomes expedient that I resign from the Labour Party. I will now return to the APC.”
