The three legislators have joined the list of politicians who have dumped the ruling party in President Buhari's home state.
Three House of Representatives members from Katsina State have defected to Peoples Democratic Party from the ruling All Progressives Congress after meeting privately with the PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in Sokoto Sunday night.
The trio of legislators failed in their bid to secure a return ticket to the lower chamber of the National Assembly during last year’s APC primary elections. “Immediately after our rally in Charanci, he reached out to Atiku and a decision was taken to take the decampees to Sokoto. They are with us here and will go to Zamfara today for the presidential rally,” he said.
