The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has suffered a massive blow with the defection of Governor Bello Matawalle to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In his speech at a rally in Gusau, Matawalle said he is now the leader of the ruling party in Zamfara State, adding that he had been nursing the ambition of leaving the PDP for several reasons.
“I am now the leader of APC in Zamfara state and I am ready to work with each and everyone wishing to contribute to the rapid development of the state”.
Governor Matawalle joined the APC with all members of the state House of Assembly and National Assembly Members.
However, a representative from Anka/Talata-Mafara Federal Constituency and the state Deputy Governor, Mahdi Aliyu Gusau did not decamp to the APC.
The rally was attended by Governors of Kogi, Niger, Katsina, Kaduna, Kano, Borno, Ogun, Jigawa, Plateau, and Kebbi State, Secretary to the Government of Federation Boss Mustapha and Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, among others.
