A Jigawa house of representatives member, Hon. Yusuf Shitu Galambi has described the defection of Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara state from the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP to All Progressive Congress, APC has been described as the best decision taken by the Governor in his entire political sojourn.
Hon. Yusuf Shitu Galambi, who is a member representing Gwaram Federal constituency 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 of 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, Jigawa state described Matawalle’s defection as a blessing to the party and his state.
