Zamfara: Over 1,000 PDP members defect to APC

The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has received over 1,000 defectors from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.

He said that his major opponent, Dr Dauda Lawal Dare, is a political amateur who will after the 2023 elections be scared and always scamper for a hiding place once he hears of political contests because he will suffer a serious defeat at the polls.

“We, therefore, wish to welcome the over 1,000 former PDP leaders and their supporters into the APC and reiterate that they will be treated with all fairness which has been the guiding word in our great party,” the statement added. The APC further commended the decision of the women’s wing of the main opposition PDP and other defectors, stressing that they will be treated fairly.All rights reserved.
