More than 10,000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, across the 14 local governements in Zamfara State have defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Speaking on Sunday at his Gusau residence, a member of the House of Representatives in Birnin Magaji/Kaura Namoda Federal Constituency, Aminu Sani Jaji, expressed satisfaction with the mass defection, describing it as copious indication that the APC would win the state and sweep all elective positions in the 2027 elections.
“I am glad that the defectors have expressed readiness to join and support our great party, the APC, through the doors of my Jajiyya movement. This shows they are satisfied with our ideology of playing politics for the development of the state,” he said.
Addressing the defectors who were received lawmaker on Sunday, Jaji assured them of equal treatment within the party, adding that they would not regret their decision to join the APC.
“I am optimistic that whoever emerges as the APC flag bearer in any position will surely win, from the presidential and gubernatorial elections to other political seats in Zamfara by 2027. There is now only one political party in the state.
“There is perfect unity and mutual understanding among the leaders and members of our great party. We know what led to our failure in 2019, and we have resolved those issues to ensure history does not repeat itself,” he said.
