A former commissioner of Solid Minerals in Sokoto State, Dahiru Maishanu Yabo, has decamped from the All Progressives Congress, APC to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Yabo, who was a founding member of the APC and member of the defunct ‘Amaechi for President’ campaign team was received by the Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal at Government House, Sokoto on Thursday.

Speaking during the reception also attended by Sokoto deputy governor, Manir Muhammmad Dan Iya, the Secretary to the State Government, Hon. Muhammad Mainasara Ahmad (Mni), the state PDP Chairman, Alhaji Bello Muhammad among others, Yabo said he dumped the APC because it lacks internal democracy.

Yabo said “the APC in Sokoto has formed a cabal of which you must be a member in order to have anything to do with the party or to be involved in the progress of the nation or the state.”

He, however, said now that he has switched allegiances, “by the grace of God, we’re going to support Team Tambuwal, the PDP governorship candidate in the state and all other candidates in the state under the PDP and, even beyond, at the Presidency.

“We’re ready. We have the energy. We have the power and the resources to be part of the PDP nationwide,” pledging to unveil his status and followership in his constituency within a fortnight.

He said apart from his army of supporters and grassroots appeal in Yabo and Shagari local government areas of the state, as a former Commissioner, his reach cut across the state.

“I have been actively involved in the politics of the APC and also in governance,” he affirms.
