A member of House of Representatives who represents Gwaram Federal constituency of Jigawa state, Yusuf Galambi has described the recent defection of Governor Bello Muhammad of Zamfara, from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressive Congress, APC, as the best political decision.
The lawmaker, in a statement made available to ASHENEWS on Monday, stated this while congratulating the Governor for bringing back Zamfara state into the mainstream of national politics by joining the leading and winning party at the national level.
According to Galambi, with the defection by Muhammad, APC had taken control of six out of seven states in the North-west, leaving only one to the opposition party, the PDP.
The Rep, who holds the traditional title of Ajawan Dutse, further described Muhammad’s defection as a blessing to the party and his state.
“As a colleague at the National Assembly, Muhammad proved to be a defensible ally, who is always ready and passionate to bring development to his constituency,” Galambi stated.
He called on governor Muhammad to show magnanimity as a leader of the party in the state by carrying everyone along in order to take Zamfara state to greater heights.
Galambi further stated that the continuous defection of PDP members to the APC, is a testimony to the fact that the party had already taken a lead ahead of 2023 elections.
He congratulated the Zamfara governor on the courageous and fearless step he had taken to move into the winning party – APC, notwithstanding the threats and intimidation by his former party – PDP, describing it as long expected.
The lawmaker also called on Zamfara people to give the governor the necessary support and encouragement in order for him to take the state to greater heights, since he has finally joined the progressives.
Galambi however extended his appreciation to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) under the leadership of its Chairman and Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, for a job well done by ensuring the smooth transition of decampees from their former parties to the progressive APC.
