Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Tuesday said Dr Bello Matawalle, Minister of State for Defence and Abdulaziz Yari were shrinking the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state.
This is contained in a statement by Alhaji Yusuf Idris, APC Publicity Secretary in the state on Tuesday in Gusau.
Idris said the motivation and support to party loyalists across the state has continued to inspire politicians from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to troop into APC in the state.
According to the APC publicity secretary, motivation from the duo of Matawalle and Yari has continued to attract top politicians from other parties into the APC in the state.
“Today, we happily and officially received Hon. Maharazu Faru of the PDP representing Maradun II State House of Assembly Constituency who detected to the APC in the state.
“The ceremony, which held amidst a large crowd at the APC Secretariat in Gusau, was chaired by the Chairman of the party in the state, Hon. Tukur Danfulani.
“Also joining were all the five Ward Chairmen of Faru/Magami Ward ,Hon. Ahmad Lawal (Sarkin Samari), Gidan Goga Ward, Hon. Sanusi Ahmad Liman, Tsibiri Ward and Hon. Lawal Mohammed, Kaya Ward.
“Others were Shingi Dan-Abu, Janbako and the ex-officio, Alhaji Salisu Dodo Faru, along with hundreds of their supporters from the constituency,” Idris said.
He quoted Faru as saying that his decision to dump his former party, PDP and join the opposition APC among others was Governor Dauda Lawal’s failure to address all the campaign promises he made.
Faru further said that his constituency was not recognised or given any attention, and at the same time, the government failed to treat PDP members of his constituency with justice and fairness.
According to him, Faru further lamented that the PDP was now characterised by crises at all levels, which explained why many Governors elected on its platform were exiting to the APC alongside multitudes of their supporters.
