The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the reported defection of Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, to the All progressives Congress (APC), saying he is free to determine his political future.
The party said it exhausted all means of dissuading Mr. Matawalle from leaving its fold.
Reports claim Matawalle will be formally received into the APC on Tuesday by the party leaders led by the Caretaker Committee Chairman of the party, Mai Mala Buni, who is also the governor of Yobe.
Speaking for the PDP, National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbodiyan, said that the ultimate decision lies with the governor to make.
“As far as we are concerned, every organ of the party have spoken with on the need to remain in the PDP on whose platform he became governor of Zamfara state but the final decision is for him to make.
“You will recall that the governors went to see him, party leaders have spoken with him, the National Working Committee also met and spoke with him.
“So, we have played our part, he has the final decision to make.”
