More Are Coming – Says PDP Women Leader As She Dumps Party For APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday received a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State, Hajiya Madina Shehu.

Shehu, who was a women leader in PDP, said that more people are coming along with her to join the ruling party.

Naija News understands that she was received into APC in Gusau after a meeting with the State Governor, Bello Matawalle.

Stating why she dumped her former party, Hajiya Shehu said the opposition party is lacking in leadership style.

“I announce my defection to the APC together with women leaders of the PDP in the 14 local government areas of the state,’’ she said.

In his remark, Governor Matawalle described Shehu’s defection as a welcome development for the APC in the state. The Governor was optimistic that more defectors are coming to APC from PDP including their leaders, before the forthcoming 2023 general elections.

Also on Thursday, Matawalle hosted a popular political support group in the state, the “Matawalle/Shehi Amalgamated Mobilisation Group (MASAMOG).”

The governor also announced a donation of 17 vehicles to the group with two buses for the leadership of the group while another was donated to the women’s wing of the group.

“The 14 units of Peugeot 406 Wagon are donated to coordinators of the group in the 14 local government areas of the state,’’ the state leader explained.

Matawalle pledged to continue to support the group, which he considered as one of the great achievements recorded as a result of APC stakeholders’ reconciliation in the state. According to him, the reconciliation yielded positive result that all political stakeholders in the state are now united in one family under the APC.

The governor charged party stakeholders, members and all supporters in the state to embrace unity, peace and stability for the victory of the party at the 2023 general elections.

In his remark, Chairman of the group, Alhaji Ibrahim Danmaliki, described Gov. Matawalle and former Gov. Abdul’aziz Yari as strong pillars of the state.

He said the group was formed to cement the recent reconciliation of APC stakeholders in the state.

“We are working to ensure that the reconciliation leads to APC’s successes in the state at the 2023 general elections,’’ Danmaliki assured.
