3000 PDP Members Including Chairman Defects To APC In Zamfara State

The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic party in Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State, Alhaji Bala Roka and about 3000 other members of the party have  defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.


This was revealed by the former governorship aspirant of the APC in the state, Hon. Amina Sani Jaji in a statement he issued in Abuja.

According to Jaji, the former ward chairman led the decampees to the APC two days after the Supreme Court affirmed Governor Bello Matawalle as the duly elected governor of Zamfara State.

His statement revealed that among those who left the PDP are the  immediate past ward Chairman of Governor Bello Matawalle’s ward Bala Roka, Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Maradun LGA, Engr. Abubakar Sadiq; Chairman, Kaya ward, Namadi Abubakar; PDP Executive Council Member, Nasiru Rabiu; and other wards chairmen from Kaura Namoda LGA

The 2019 governorship aspirant who also represented his federal constituency in the 8th House of Representatives said he personally received the decampees from across all wards of the two local government areas of Maradun and Kaura Namoda.

Jaji said the APC is delighted to receive the new members and groups joining the party, and that their defection shows that the grassroots people are not happy with the administration of the PDP in the state.
