Prominent Buhari Supporter Dumps APC For PDP, Few Days To 2019 Elections

APC Supporters Defect To PDP In Sokoto State

Sani Muhammad Gobirawa, a top official of the Buhari Support Organization in Sokoto state has defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), few days to the general elections in the country.

Gobirawa, who is also the Northwest Zonal Vice President of the Nigerian Union of Pensioners took along several other BSO members in the defection Tsunami.

He told The Nation that his defection is based on the belief that PDP is the best political platform to get Nigeria working again, adding that he and others that defected with him made a voluntary decision based on their convictions.

He urged members of the public to focus on issues in the build-up to the general elections.

“Our decision to join PDP was purely based on our firm conviction of the ability and capability of Governor Aminu’s reality and myth, as such, we don’t need the approval or inclination of any family to actualize our political aspirations,” he said.

“I have to put it straight to the people of the state and to shame doubting Thomases that as a Nigerian and an adult with my senses, I can decide on which party to join without associating my actions to any family.

“This clarification has become necessary for Sokoto people to discountenance insinuations from some quarters associated with family issue.”

The politician who also holds a traditional title of ‘ Wakilin Gwiwa and Walin Dabagin Ardo’ in the state, added: “when I joined BSO I did not seek the permission nor associated my membership to any family.”
