Former Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari has reacted to his reported defection to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Describing the report as misrepresentation of facts, the Publicity Chairman of former Governor Yari’s faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State, Hon. Ibrahim Birinin Magaji said the action of the State PDP chairman as putting the cart before the horse.
“We have actually made our decision to dump the APC, we went into negotiation with many political parties, including the PDP, but we have not reached conclusion with any political party yet.
“Even if we had concluded to join the PDP, we should have been the one to address the press on our latest decision and not the PDP to speak for us,” he said.
He said that the PDP chairman in the state, Col. Bala Mande, did not consult them before making the press statement.
“We were surprised to hear such statement from the State chairman of a party when we have not concluded any arrangement, and there is no document to back his claim,” he added.
JOURNALIST101 had reported that Col. Mande had on Sunday announced the defection of Governor Yari from the ruling APC to PDP.
