ZAMFARA STATE GOVERNOR BELLO MATAWALLE OFFICIALLY JOINS APC
Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State has officially defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) after months of speculation.
The Governor announced his defection on Tuesday night at the Gusau Trade Fair Complex at an event attended by APC Governors, Ministers and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha.
However, multiple reports indicate that the State’s Deputy Governor, Mahdi Aliyu, and the member representing Talata Mafara/Anka in the State House of Assembly, Kabiru Yahaya, have decided to remain in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Some Federal Lawmakers in the State members of the PDP had earlier announced their defection to the APC but it is not yet clear whether all the lawmakers joined the Governor to the APC.
Two Federal lawmakers, Hon. Hassan Anka (Zamfara West) and Sahabi Yau (Zamfara North and Deputy Minority whip), defected to the APC.
Recall, on May 20, Cross Rivers State Governor, Prof. Ben Ayade, also defected from PDP to the APC.
