Over 2,000 representatives of more than 10,000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, across Zamfara State’s 14 local government areas have defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Aminu Sani Jaji, a member of the House of Representatives from Birnin Magaji/Kaura Namoda Federal Constituency, welcomed the defectors.
Speaking on Sunday at his home in Gusau, Jaji voiced his happiness with the widespread defection, characterising it as an unmistakable sign that the APC would win all elective seats in the 2027 elections and retake the state.
“I am glad that the defectors have expressed readiness to join and support our great party, the APC, through the doors of my Jajiyya movement. This shows they are satisfied with our ideology of playing politics for the development of the state,” he said.
The congressman told the new members that they would receive equal treatment within the party and that they wouldn’t regret joining the APC.
“I am optimistic that whoever emerges as the APC flag bearer in any position will surely win, from the presidential and gubernatorial elections to other political seats in Zamfara by 2027. There is now only one political party in the state,” he added.
Jaji also emphasised the Zamfara APC’s restored unity, pointing out that the disagreements that caused the party’s 2019 loss had been settled.
“There is perfect unity and mutual understanding among the leaders and members of our great party. We know what led to our failure in 2019, and we have resolved those issues to ensure history does not repeat itself,” he said.
Recalling that the state was crucial to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s success in the 2023 presidential election, he also referred to Zamfara as an APC stronghold.
