Six members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly have defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The lawmakers announced their defection through separate letters addressed to the House, blaming internal party crises, alleged constitutional violations and poor leadership within the legislative arm for their decision.
In the letters, the lawmakers stated, “I write to formally inform the Honourable Speaker and Honourable Members of this Honourable House my decision of defection from People Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressive Congress (APC) due to lingering and unresolved crises of my party (PDP) which resulted to factional leadership.”
They further said, “Therefore, my decision is consonant and pursuant to Section (l) (g) of the 1999 Constitution of Nigerian 2011 (as amended), and poor leadership of Governor Dauda Lawal ranging from negligence in the security of the state and unfulfilled promises made as his campaign manifestos.
“I therefore found it expedient to make this decision voluntarily.”
Those who defected include Muktar Nasir Kaura (Kaura North), Nasiru Abdullahi Maru (Maru North), Amiru Ahmad Keta (Tsafe West), Bashar Aliyu Gummi (Gummi I), Bashir Abubakar Masama (Bukkuyum North) and Bashir Bello (Bungudu West).
The lawmakers said their move to the APC was driven by the desire to promote justice, fairness, harmony and inclusiveness, expressing confidence that the new platform would enable them to better represent their constituents and contribute more effectively to the development of Zamfara State.
