President Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign
coordinator in Zamfara State in the 2019 general elections, Alhaji
Bature Sambo, and other top officials of the All Progressives Congress
on Thursday defected to the Peoples Democratic Party in a ceremony in
the Gusau Government House.
Other defectors who dumped the APC
included the current Board Chairman, National Hospital Port Harcourt,
Alhaji Muktari Anka; the immediate past Commissioner for Youth
Development, Alhaji Abdullahi Mohammed; the immediate past Special
Adviser, Alhaji Ibrahim Ajala, and over 6,000 other APC supporters.
Sambo
said he decided to dump the APC because of the performance of Governor
Bello Matawalle within a few months of his administration.
Bature
also stated that Matawalle ended banditry in the state in less than two
weeks of his tenure, which he said the past administration was unable
to do.
He added that he and all his supporters would give the governor support and cooperation for him to succeed.
Matawalle,
while receiving the APC defectors, assured them that they would be
treated equally with other members of the party and warned supporters of
former Governor AbdulAziz Yari to desist from creating “unnecessary
tension” in the state or face “severe penalties.”
