A governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress in the recent party primaries in Sokoto State, Alhaji Yusha’u Kebbe, has defected to the Peoples Democratic Party.
Kebbe said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Sokoto on Monday.
He said he joined politics to protect the interest of his people and for the development of the state.
He also said that he defected to the PDP to achieve the objective and to ensure the success of the party during the forthcoming elections at all levels.
“If I continue to stay in the APC, the state will not develop according to our hopes and aspirations,” he said.
NAN also recalls that Kebbe was the governorship candidate of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party in the 2011 elections in the state.
