Four members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Zamfara State, in the House of Representatives on Tuesday defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The lawmakers include: Hon. Bello Hassan Shinkafi, Hon. Ahmed Bakura, Hon. Ahmed Shehu, and Hon. Suleiman Gumi.
Their defection is coming few days after that of Governor Bello Matawalle from the PDP.
In a letter signed by Hon. Suleiman Gumi and read at plenary by the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, the lawmakers explained that their decision to leave the PDP was due to the crisis within it, which led to dissolution of the state chapter by the national leadership of the party.
However, the PDP has frowned at the recent decamping of its members to the APC, stressing that leaving the party with their mandate is unacceptable.
