Zamfara: PDP’s council chairman defects to APC
The Zamfara chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has received the current chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaura Namoda Local Government, Sadiq Abubakar, who defected into the party.
The state APC publicity secretary, Yusuf Idris, stated this in a statement in Gusau on Monday.
Mr Idris described the defection of the Kaura Namoda PDP chairman as a welcome development.
The PDP chairman on Sunday in Kaura Namoda town defected from the PDP to the APC.
Announcing his defection from the PDP, Mr Abubakar said he left because the party is dead in Zamfara, adding that the PDP was affected by serious crises at the national level.
According to Mr Yusuf, the PDP chairman was received by the former APC chairman, Lawal Liman, and the Kaura Namoda Local Government APC chairman, Sule Gabake, at the local government APC secretariat in Kaura.
Mr Liman assured him and his supporters of equal treatment, where justice is paramount.
He stated that the Zamfara APC was under the leadership of AbdulAziz Yari and the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, working day and night to ensure peace and stability, as well as the general progress of the party.
