2027: I’m still in APC but I’ll support party my people want — Na’Allah

n n

Former Deputy Senate Majority Leader, Senator Bala Na’Allah, has said he remains a member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, but will support whichever political party his constituents choose ahead of the 2027 general elections.

n

Na’Allah made the disclosure during an interview on Arise TV’s Prime Time on Monday.

n

The former senator, who withdrew from the APC senatorial primary ahead of the exercise in May after alleging that the outcome had been predetermined, was asked whether he would support the ruling party in the 2027 election.

n

Responding, Na’Allah said his loyalty as a Democrat was ultimately to the wishes of his people, stressing that he would not use his political position to compel them to support a party against their preference.

n

“Luckily for me, as a Democrat, I believe in what my people want, because democracy is a recurrent suspicion whereby more than half the people should be right more than half the time.

n

“Let me be very honest with you. I’m APC. If for whatever reason my people believe that APC is not the party they want to do. My qualification in politics has not taken me to a position where I will ask people to do what they don’t want to do,” he added.

n

The former lawmaker, however, said he remained open to assessing the political developments ahead of the election.

n

“But again we are learning every day, we will see those who have that capacity,” Na’Allah added.

n

Na’Allah was expected to contest the APC senatorial primary as part of his bid to return to the Senate before he pulled out of the race.

n

He had alleged that the outcome of the primary had already been predetermined, leading to his withdrawal from the exercise.
