Ahmadu Baba Idris, Birnin Kebbi
The former Senate leader, Senator Yahaya Abdullahi has defected from the Ruling Party All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kebbi State.
Confirming his defection to Newsmen on Monday, the Special Adviser to the Senator on media and publicity Muhammad Jamil Gulma said, that the Senate Leader Dr. Yahaya Abdullahi will on Wednesday at 9 am leave Abuja for Kebbi and proceed to Kamba local government to formally declare for PDP and to possibly indicate his interest to contest his present seat as a Senator.
Dr. Yahaya who participated in the APC’s Kebbi governorship primaries was reported to have scored Zero votes, an outcome which he had since rejected and described as shambolic and a child’s play.
Stallion Times gathered that the Senator Adamu Aliero has also concluded his arrangements to leave APC to PDP after failure to secure a Senate ticket from APC
Pundits say his defection may not be unconnected with the governorship primaries and several failed truces by the national leadership of the ruling APC.
