By Ariemu Ogaga
The recent defection of Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara state from the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) to All Progressives Congress, (APC) has been described as the best decision taken by the Governor in his entire political sojourn according to Member House of Representative, Gwaram Federal Constituency Jigawa State, Hon Yusuf Galambi.
Hon. Galambi, stated this while congratulating the Governor for bringing back Zamfara state into the mainstream of national politics by joining the leading and winning party at the national level.
In a statement issued to newsmen, Galambi said, with the defection by Matawalle, there is no doubt APC has taken the control of six out seven states in the North-west leaving only one state to the opposition party, the PDP.
Hon. Galambi, who holds the traditional title of Ajawan Dutse, described Matawalle’s defection as a blessing to the party and his state.
According to him, “As a colleague at the National Assembly, Matawalle proved to be a defensible ally, who is always ready and passionate to bring development to his constituency.”
The Member, therefore, called on Governor Matawalle to show magnanimity as a leader of the party in the state by carrying everyone along in order to take Zamfara state to greater heights.
Galambi further stated that the continuous defection of PDP members to APC is a testimony to the fact that the party has already taken a lead ahead of 2023 elections.
Honourable Galambi congratulated Matawalle on the courageous and fearless steps he has taken to move into the winning party- APC, notwithstanding the threat and intimidation by his former party- PDP, describing it as long expected.
He also called on Zamfara people to give the Governor the necessary support and encouragement in order for him to take the state to greater heights, since he has finally joined the progressives.
Galambi however extended his appreciation to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) under the leadership of its Chairman and Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, for a job well done by ensuring the smooth transition of decampees from their former parties to the progressive APC.
