Abdulfatah defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the PDP On July 31, minutes after Senate President Bukola Saraki announced his resignation from the same party.
“Following due consultations and in response to calls by major stakeholders in the state, I have moved to the PDP because the APC can longer serve as a platform for achieving the aspirations and expectations of my people,” he had said. (SaharaReporters)
