Mannir Dan’iya, the Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, has dumped the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC) political party, a few days before the Presidential election.
Gatekeepers News reports that Dan’iya who is currently the Sokoto Central Senatorial Candidate of the PDP will be received by President Muhammadu Buhari into APC today.
In a letter dated February 8, 2023 and addressed to the Kware Ward PDP chairman, the deputy governor said, “I write to notify you of withdrawal of my membership from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with effect from 8 February 2023. I appreciate the opportunities given to me, which made me serve in various capacities under the PDP.”
Buhari is expected to lead the Presidential rally of the APC in Sokoto on Thursday and present the party’s Presidential Candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to the people of the state.
