Zamfara: Yari’s Ward Councillor, APC Supporters Defect To PDP

The Councillor representing Galadima Ward, Mr Lukman Danbuzu, alongside thousands of his supporters from Talata-Mafara town in Zamfara State have defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This is contained in a statement signed by Malam Yusuf Idris, the Director General Media, Public Enlightenment and Communication to Governor Bello Matawalle, and made available to newsmen in Gusau yesteray.
Idris said that two other councillors from the former APC governor, Abdul-Aziz Yari’s home local government area, including Bello Ruwan-Bado of Garbadu Ward and Tijjani Shittu of Morai Ward, also defected to the PDP from APC.
They announced their defection after meeting with Matawalle at the Government House in Gusau yesterday.
According to the statement, the ongoing political permutations continue in Zamfara, especially against the opposition APC with the defection of several APC stalwarts in the state to the PDP.
Lukman, who spoke on behalf of the defecting councillors, attributed their decision to the sustainable peace under the PDP-led government in the state which is better than what obtained in the former APC-led administration.
“We are convinced that the Governor Matawalle-led leadership is serious in all it is doing to bring succour to the generality of Zamfara citizens.
