Amb Zulkifilu Dalhatu, former national coordinator of the ADC stated that he and his legion of supporters decided to join the APC due to the lack of internal democracy in the ADC, the lingering leadership crisis as well as the action-oriented leadership style of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu GCFR which has raised the infrastructural, socio-economic and developmental profile of the nation to greater heights.
