Real reasons why Jisalo defect to APC

Jisalo, minister of FCT with other APC supporters

As 2019 elections draw near, politicians have started pitching their tent where the pendulum will favour them and probably return them to their seats.

Former chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC and presently member representing the AMAC/Bwari Federal Constituency in the Federal House of Representatives, Honourable Zephaniah Bitrus Jisalo is also not left out.

Jisalo was reported to have decamped to the ruling party, All Progressive Congress, APC to salvage his seat in the coming elections.

A close source to the House of Representatives member who confided in our correspondent disclosed that if Jisalo does not do the needful, that is decamp to APC, he might not get the ticket of the main opposition party, People Democratic Party, PDP and even if he wins the primary, he is not sure of his victory at the poll against an APC opposition.

Jisalo remains one of the few members who hardly contribute to debates on the floor of the house.

A resident of Abuja, Solomon Jafaru claimed that Jisalo is not eloquent and is timid hence cannot express himself that is one of the reasons why he is looking for where he can hide himself couple with the money he allegedly embezzled while he was AMAC chairman.

Recalled that Jisalo’s defection came in the early hours of the business day on the floor of the House of Representatives, when the Speaker, Honourable Yakubu Dogara read his letter. In it, Mr Jisalo cited division and leadership crisis within his former party, the PDP.

One of the people who were on ground to welcome him into the APC is the minister of the FCT, Mohammed Bello.
