PDP chieftain, Anaz Waziri, joins APC in Sokoto
The Chairman of Matawalle Support Organization in Sokoto, Alhaji Anas Waziri and his supporters have dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
Bashar Abubakar, the Special Assistant on New Media to the state’s former governor, Aliyu Wamakko, confirmed the development in a statement on Sunday in Sokoto.
Waziri said he dumped the PDP because of failed promises.
He said: “Our exit from PDP is a sign of victory for APC because of its acceptability across the board.
