Sadiq Abubakar Ciroma, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Kaura Namoda Local Government Area, has been officially welcomed into the All Progressives Congress (APC) by state Defense Minister Bello Muhammad Matawalle.
Ciroma was introduced to Matawalle on Friday by state APC chairman Tukur Danfulani, who also welcomed Ciroma and his followers into the party.
Speaking during the function, Matawalle said that Ciroma’s decision to join the APC would help the people of Zamfara and characterized him as a politician with vision and good judgment.
He promised equal possibilities within the party to Ciroma and his supporters.
Ciroma clarified that he left the PDP because he thought the APC’s leadership and performance in the state were more inclusive.
He accused Governor Dauda Lawal’s PDP-led administration of prioritizing tax collection over local communities.
Manir Haidara Kaura, the chairman of the Kaura Namoda Local Government Council, responded to the defection by accusing Ciroma of working against the PDP prior to a recent state assembly by-election.
Haidara questioned his allegiance by accusing him of working with APC stakeholders and disclosing party secrets.
