Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State has been told by his Commissioner for Rural Development and Cooperatives, Alhaji Abubakar Tsafe, to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressive Congress, APC.
Mattawelle of the PDP benefited handsomely from the crisis that rocked the APC in Zamfara ahead of the general election to emerge governor.
Of late, there were several reports that bordered on him joining the ruling party anytime soon with the latest coming from Alhaji Tsafe on Sunday.
Tsafe who is a card-carrying member of the APC is the current Commissioner for Rural Development and Cooperatives.
In a statement he released, he enjoined Matawalle to leave the PDP and join the party at the centre in order to consolidate the successes being recorded in the state.
The statement reads: “We are using this medium to call on His Excellency, Dr Bello Matawalle, to dump the PDP.
“If he joins, more attention would be given to the state by the Federal Government. He should join our camp. Our leader is anxiously waiting for him.”
