Ex-PDP Rep Candidate, Mohammed Ajia Joins APC

Alhaji Mohammed Ajia Ibrahim, PhD, has formally announced his decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying the move was guided by conscience, patriotism and national duty.

Ajia, who holds the traditional titles of Dan Amanan Fune Emirate of Yobe State and Nwanne Ukwu Di Na Mba of Amaba-Ukwu Item in Abia State, made the declaration in a statement personally signed and released to journalists on Monday.

He said the decision came after months of reflection, consultations and a careful review of Nigeria’s political and security situation.

Ajia explained that his humble upbringing and his parents’ sacrifices influenced his commitment to public service and improving the welfare of ordinary Nigerians.

“I took a firm decision from an early age to do whatever is within my powers to make life more meaningful for as many people as I can,” he said.

He noted that after assessing different political platforms, he concluded that the APC offers the most practical avenue for him to contribute to Nigeria’s security and stability, especially as the country continues to face insurgency, banditry and other criminal activities.

Ajia also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing General Christopher Musa as Chief of Defence Staff and later as Minister of Defence, describing the decision as a strong indication of the administration’s commitment to tackling insecurity.

According to him, Musa is a disciplined and professional officer who handles security issues without sentiment or bias, adding that the appointment further strengthened his confidence in the current government.
