Former governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari and Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa have defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The chairman of the PDP, Bala Mande announced this shortly after a stakeholders’ meeting in Gusau on Sunday.
According to him, the meeting finalised the issue of the defection and reached an agreement to work for the development of the Party.
“We have all agreed to work for the development of the party and the PDP in the state has welcome them to its fold. We will ensure justice and fairness to all members even after we have won elections in 2023.
“The date for their grand reception to our party will be announced later but we are going to implement all the agreements reached during the stakeholders meeting,” Mande said.
The Publicity Secretary of Yari faction of the APC, Ibrahim Muhammad Birnin Magaji confirmed the development.
“Yes, it is true we are moving to opposition PDP, and this is all I can say for now,” said.
