The Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, has defected to the All Progressives Congress, says the Personal Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Digital and New Media, Bashir Ahmad.
Matawalle was elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The APC, which was expected to coast to victory in the election in 2019, was stopped by the Independent National Electoral Commission from participating in the poll following a court order.
Ahmad, who spoke on Facebook in the early hours of Sunday, wrote: “So Zamfara is back home.
“Welcome Mutawalle!”
