Among those who joined her were suspended ADC Chairman of AMAC, Omale Sule; former FCT ADC Women Leader, Princess Gladys Ngozi; ex-ADC Chairman of Kuje Area Council, Godwin Onoya; former Deputy ADC Chairman, Yusuf Adam; and ex-FCT Youth Leader, Aliyu Umar. Others included former SDP Chairman in the FCT, Nurudeen Bissallah, and the immediate past Deputy Chairman of the FCT Labour Party, Faruk Datsama. I want to welcome the former ‘Iron Lady’ of the PDP, Labour Party, ADC, and now NDC, Amanda Pam. Datsama, former Deputy Chairman of the FCT Labour Party, cited ongoing crises in the Labour Party as a reason for his defection, describing the NDC and its leadership as the “best option” for Nigeria.
