Two-term deputy governor of Zamfara State, Ibrahim Wakkala, has defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic ruling Party (PDP).
Wakkala served former Governor Abdul’aziz Yari in that capacity of deputy governor from 2011-2019.
He said that his move was personal, and that would not affect his relationship with his former allies, because his decision was because of the socio-economic progress the state is experiencing under the current leadership.
“My guiding principles and philosophies are focused on the development and socio-economic progress of Zamfara,” Wakkala noted, adding that he had been fascinated by the policies of Governor Bello Matawalle.
“Though I have been in APC since the beginning of his administration, the governor nevertheless, has been consulting me for advice, and this fraternal relation has actually endeared him(Matawalle) to my liking.”
