Sokoto commissioner dumps PDP for APC

Barely 24 hours after the defection of Tangaza Local Government Council Chairman, Hon. Salihu Bashar Kalanjine, the Sokoto State Commissioner for Security and Careers Matters, Rtd. Col. Garba Moyi Isa, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Moyi cited the present administration’s lack of transference and accountability to govern efficiently as the reason for dumping the party.

He added that with the quality leadership of Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, he can’t afford to leave the senator alone to undertake the affairs of the Sokoto APC’s supporters.

The commissioner also announced his resignation of his membership of the state Executive Council.

Receiving the defector at his residence Sokoto, the APC leader in the state, Senator Wamakko, enjoined him to be steadfast in campaigning for the victory of APC in Sokoto East Senatorial District and the state at large ahead of the 2023 general election.

Col. Moyi was accompanied by the APC deputy gubernatorial candidate in Sokoto State, Hon. Idris Muhammad Gobir, APC senatorial candidate, Hon. Ibrahim Lamido Isa, and House of Representatives candidate, Hon. Abdulkadir Jelani Danbuga, and the APC chairman of Sabon Birni Local Government Area, Alhajo Yawale Sarkin Baki.
