The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially welcomed Sadiq Abubakar, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area, following his defection to the ruling party.
The development was announced in a statement released on Monday in Gusau by the APC Publicity Secretary, Malam Yusuf Idris.
Idris hailed Abubakar’s defection as a “welcome development,” saying it demonstrates the party’s increasing strength and acceptance across the state.
Abubakar had on Sunday declared his exit from the PDP in Kaura Namoda town, saying the party was “dead in Zamfara” and weakened by “serious crises at the national level.”
He was received at the APC Secretariat in Kaura Namoda by the former state APC Chairman, Lawal Liman, and the Kaura Namoda APC chairman, Alhaji Sule Gabake.
Liman assured the defectors of equitable treatment, emphasizing that the APC in Zamfara, under the leadership of Senator AbdulAziz Yari and Minister of State for Defence Bello Matawalle, remains committed to peace, stability, and the overall development of the party.
