Idris said the Yahaya was received by Gov. Bello Matawalle and State APC Chairman, Alhaji Tukur Danfulani.

“The PDP State Assembly candidate for Talata Mafara North Constituency, Umar Yahaya has also joined the wave of political tsunami sweeping off PDP in Zamfara.

“Yahaya said he took the decision to abandon his candidature under the PDP to join the APC because of the alleged crisis rocking his former party at national and the state levels.

“He said that the PDP leadership in the state is too dictatorial and not respecting the opinion and interest of members”, Idris said.

“A lot of PDP members will soon come and join the APC.”

In his remarks, Matawalle commended Yahaya’s courage to abandon his candidature and join the progressive party in the state.
