Pwajok disclosed this on Friday while addressing his political associates and hundreds of his supporters at his residence in Jos, saying there is no political future in the APC.
“I call you here to inform you of my intention to defect from the APC to PDP, a platform on which I was elected to the House of Representatives. It is clear that the leadership of APC lack focus and does not have regards for its members.
“Since I lost the senatorial primary in which I came second, nobody has consulted me for any party activities.
“We have just few weeks to the presidential election, I have not seen any serious activities going on in the APC in Plateau and nobody has informed me of any role ahead of the election.”
Pwajok, who would be received officially by the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on Saturday, in Jos, during his campaign, described his defection to PDP as home coming.
The legislator was elected into the House of Representatives in 2015 on the platform of PDP; he defected to APC in 2016 and now, he is back to the PDP where he believe has a political future.
