The former deputy governor said he joined the PDP for the growth and development of Zamfara State.
He said: “There were speculations making the rounds for about two years now over where I politically belong; hence I feel this is the right time to put the records straight.
“I want to formally inform the general public that I have finally defected from the APC and have officially joined the PDP right from my Madawaki Ward under Gusau Local Government Area,” he said.
He further said: “Since the inception of the present administration under Governor Bello Matawalle, I have been playing an advisory role, especially in addressing the security issues of the state which by Allah’s grace is gradually reducing.
