Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on House Services, Hon. Daniel Amos, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Amos, who represents Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency of Kaduna State, formally announced his defection at a well-attended rally held at the Kafanchan Township Stadium, alongside Senator Marshall Kaduna (Kaduna South).

In a letter read on the floor of the House by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen, the lawmaker attributed his decision to what he described as “unresolved contradictions within the PDP at the national level,” which, according to him, have weakened the party’s ability to function effectively and serve the interests of the people.
He said the decision to leave the PDP was a hard decision especially when considered against the backdrop of the fact that the party gave him the mandate to represent his people after years of dedicated service to the party.
He regretted that the PDP has regressed and has allowed itself to be weighed down by its own antics, making the party unattractive.
He said that after careful consultation with his constituents, he has decided to align with the policies of the Tinubu led APC government to bring further development to the people of his constituency as well as the efforts of Governor Uba Sani in bringing peace and development to Kaduna state.
