Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party and erstwhile Senator, Chief Barnabas Gemade has returned back to the ruling All Progressives Congress after a brief romance with the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
He defeated former Governor Gabriel Suswam in the 2015 senatorial elections before he was thrown out of the Red Chambers by Suswam.
He expressed his profound gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari, Senator George Akume and the Acting National Chairman of the party and Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni for his home coming which was described by the party stakeholders as long overdue.
The welcoming back to the party attracted the criticism of the PDP who wondered why the state party leader, George Akume was absent at the ceremony alluding to an insinuation that he is now a paper weight politician who is out of touch with the new realities in the state politics.
