I joined politics because of insecurity in my area – Kebbi lawmaker, Maidoki

Date:

The lawmaker representing Kebbi South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Garba Maidoki, says he joined politics because of the insecurity in his area.

Maidoki made this known on Tuesday when he appeared as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

According to the lawmaker, he had no interest in joining politics but the incessant insecurity in his domain forced him.

DAILY POST reports that Maidoki on Tuesday dumped the All Progressives Congress, APC, and joined the African Democratic Congress, ADC, following the unresolved internal wrangling within the ruling party resulting from the recently concluded primaries in Kebbi State.

“The only reason I joined politics is because of the insecurity in my area. I have no interest in doing politics.

“We have done everything we can to protect ourselves at the community level. Then it dawned on us that if we use our ballot papers wisely, it is better than using our bullets,” he said.
