Zamfara PDP unshaken regardless of defections

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Zamfara Chapter, says it remains unshaken in spite of defections from the party to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This is contained in a statement issued on Wednesday in Gusau by Mr Halliru Andi, the Publicity Secretary of the party.

While the PDP is the ruling party in the state, the APC holds sway at the federal level.

The party was reacting to the defection of Maharazu Faru, representing the Maradun II constituency in the State House of Assembly.

Faru, who joined the APC together with PDP executives in the five wards, among others, hinged his defection on Gov. Dauda Lawal’s inability to meet his campaign promises.

“Dauda failed to address challenges ranging from insecurity, which is the main reason people voted for him,” the lawmaker said.
