Former Deputy governor of Zamfara State, Ibrahim Wakkala, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Wakkala made the declaration on Wednesday while briefing journalists in Gusau, Zamfara State capital.
He was deputy governor under the administration of former Governor Abdulaziz Yari.
Wakkala said since the APC lost in 2019 elections, he had been treated lightly in the affairs of the party
According to him, he was no longer consulted for any party activities in the state.
He said that since the inception of the current administration of Governor Bello Matawalle, he had been playing an advisory role, especially in addressing the security challenges facing the state.
He also disclosed that he had formally sent a written notice to inform his former principal, Abdulaziz Yari, on his resolve to dump the APC.
