No fewer than 1,868 have dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto State.

Speaking on behalf of the decampees on Wednesday, the chairman of the Furniture Makers Association in Sokoto State, Lawali Lalala, said they were convinced with the good leadership style of the PDP-led government in the state, adding that they were happy to partner with the state government in moving the state forward.

Lalala stated that the APC-led government has failed Nigerians in almost all sectors.

The defectors further pledged their loyalty and support to the PDP, promising to cast their votes for the candidates of the party in the 2023 general election.
