Mass Defection Shakes Sokoto PDP


By Muhammad Ibrahim, Sokoto

A large group of prominent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters in Sokoto State, led by Alhaji Chika Sarkin Gishiri, Chairman of the Sokoto State Traders Associations, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The defection ceremony took place at the residence of Sen. Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, APC leader in the state.

The defectors cited their desire to advance Sokoto State’s development as the main reason for their move to the APC.

This development represents a major blow to the PDP in Sokoto, with key members of the business community now aligning with the ruling party.

The defectors pledged their full support and commitment to contributing to the progress of Sokoto State under the APC leadership.
