The Senate Leader, Yahaya Abdullahi, has defected from the ruling All progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kebbi State.
Yahaya’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Muhammad Jamil Gulma, disclosed this in a statement, on Tuesday.
“Senate Leader Dr Yahaya Abdullahi will on Wednesday by 9am leave Abuja for Kebbi and proceed to Kamba Local Government to formally declare for PDP and to possibly indicate his interest to contest his present seat,” he said.
The Senate Leader who participated in the APC’s governorship primaries in Kebbi State was reported to have scored zero vote, an outcome which he had since rejected and described as shambolic and a child’s play.
