Gusau announced his decision on Tuesday but did not state the party he plans to join.

His decision was conveyed in a letter read by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, at the start of plenary on Tuesday.

In the letter dated June 28, the Senator stated the collapse of internal democracy in the PDP as part of the reasons he left the party.

“I write to notify the Senate of my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with the effect of the date (June 28).

“My decision is necessitated due to the collapse of internal democracy and factionalision of the party from ward levels In Zamfara State.

“Further decision of my party affiliation will communicated to this chamber in due course,” the letter read.

Should Gusau join the All Progressives Congress (APC) as expected, he would be the third PDP senator to move to APC in the 9th senate. The other two are Elisha Abbo and Peter Nwaoboshi.

Gusau’s announcement comes barely three days after a presidential aide, Bashir Ahmed, suggested that the Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, had dump the PDP for APC. The governor is yet to formally announce his defection.

If Matawalle finally join the APC, he would be the third PDP governor to join the APC in the past seven months. The other two are the governors of Ebonyi and Cross River States.

The PDP has however condemned the planned defection of Matawalle, warning that he risks losing his seat should he do so.
