The Women Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara, Hajiya Madina Shehu, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday.
She was received by the governor of the state, Bello Matawalle.
Hajiya Shehu announced her defection in Gusau after a meeting with Gov. Bello Matawalle.
She said she left PDP blaming lack of leadership style in the party.
“I announce my defection to the APC together with women leaders of the PDP in the 14 local government areas of the state,’’ she said.
Responding, Matawalle described Shehu’s defection as a welcome development for the APC in the state.
“More defectors are coming to APC from PDP; very soon shall receive many PDP members including their leaders,’’ he said
