He said his decision to leave the PDP was necessitated by the collapse of internal democracy and factionalisation of PDP in Zamfara State.
Senator Muhammed, in the letter, did not disclose the party he is joining.
He is among the lawmakers from Zamfara State expected to follow the state governor, Bello Muhammad Matawalle to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
