Former Governor of Zamfara state, Northwest Nigeria, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari, and Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa have dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Gatekeepers News reports that the PDP chairman in the state, Colonel Bala Mande, made the announcement shortly after a stakeholders’ meeting in Gusau.
Bala Mande said they had sat down and finalised the issue of the defection of Yari and Marafa and they had reached an agreement to work for the development of the Party.
He said, “We have all agreed to work for the development of the party and the PDP in the state has welcome them to its fold. We will ensure justice and fairness to all members even after we have won elections in 2023.
“The date for their grand reception to our party will be announced later but we are going to implement all the agreements reached during the stakeholders meeting.”
This is a developing story.
