No fewer than twenty thousand APC members today dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) and embraced the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State.
The decampees were from Bakura and Gumi Local Government areas of the state, noting that the crowd that gathered indicated that the PDP made a serious grassroots mobilization in the state.
Receiving the decampees at the Government House in Gusau, the state capital, the state governor, Hon. Bello Mohammed Matawalle described the decampment as a big loss to the APC.
” Their decamping may be connected to what has been put on ground by this administration led by me,” he said.
According to Matawalle, terror attacks and kidnappings have been brought to their keels, stressing that commercial activities have fully returned to every part of Zamfara state.
He explained that right from the inception of his administration, he had been operating an all-inclusive government, saying that his aim and ambition was to invite capable hands to ensure the development of the state.
Matawalle urged Zamfara people irrespective of political affiliation to contribute towards the development of the state.
Earlier, the state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Ibrahim Malaha described the movement as well development.
The chairman assured the new members of equal treatment, saying that they should consider themselves as card-carrying members of the party.
” We are ready to welcome everybody into PDP fold because we are practising all-inclusive government, ” he said.
It could be recalled that early this week, eight Local Government council chairmen defected to PDP, pointing out that they did not decamp for their selfish interest but to join hands with Governor Matawalle to move the state forward.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
