2023: APC'S PRODIGAL SON, ADAMU GARBA RETURNS TO RULING AFTER TINUBU OPTED FOR MUSLIM-MUSLIM TICKET

Two months after he dumped the All Progressives Congress in a bitter manner, former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, has returned to the party.

The popular businessman and Twitter activist made headlines when he defected to the Young Progressives Party, a party he created on July 12, 2022.

He had also removed the party's flag from his office.

An emotional Garba, who backed out of the APC presidential race after raising N83 million, had slammed the party for pegging the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms at N100 million.

But two months after he jumped ship, a remorseful Garba had taken to his official Twitter account to announce his return to the ruling party.

Defending his reason for returning to the APC, the young politician stated that it would do more harm to Nigeria if he does not support the combination of a 'great strategist and a great tactician' running on a single ticket.

Adamu's return follows the decision of the party's presidential flag bearer, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to pick former Borno governor, Kashim Shettima as running mate, thereby offering Nigerians a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Garba, however, said he was draw to the Tinubu-Shettima ticket by the competence of the candidates.

"Yes, I am fully back to APC. I could do more harm to my country Nigeria if did not support a combination of a great strategist and a great tactician on a single ticket," Garba said.

"It is BAT/Hashim that should take over all polling units in Nigeria come 2023. It's not altogether about not having a competent Christian in the north, there are, many of them indeed."

"But how many of those competent ones are able to build any political capital beyond their immediate environment? Name? Politics is very practical, it's not about whims."
