The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara state has continued to experience misfortune following the defection of former Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, Senator Kabiru Mafara and thousands of their supporters.to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Addressing newsmen in Gusau, the State capital on Sunday, the Zamafara PDP Chairman, Bala Mande informed party supporters that the party has received Yari, Marafa and other top APC members to the PDP.
“We want to officially announce to you of the joining of our great party, the PDP, by the former Governor, His Excellency, Alhaji Abdul Aziz Yari, Senator Kabiru Garba Mafara and their supporters”
“They are now PDP members, we have reached an agreement and we are going to implement the agreement.
“We have agreed to work together as one political entity in one party, the PDP for the success of the party in the State.
“We have also agreed to work extra hard to reclaim the lost mandate of Zamfara State in 2023 and save its people from their present predicament.
“I have given the stakeholders a complete update of where we are as a result of this development.”
The chairman noted that the two political heavyweights in the State would be officially received in Gusau, the State capital.
The APC chapter in Zamfara state was in disarray when the Adams Oshimhile led National Working Committee (NWC) interfered with the affairs of the state which led to factional primary election that eventually culminated in the sack of the governor by the Supreme Court.
Yari further opposed vehemently the leeway opened to the incumbent governor, Bello Matawele to join the APC which subsequently pooled the structure of the party off the feet of the Yari and Senator Marafa.
