Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Yahaya Abdullahi, has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kebbi State.
Special Adviser to the Senate Leader on Media and Publicity, Muhammad Jamil Gulma, confirmed the defection to Vanguard Newspapers on Tuesday.
“Senate Leader Dr Yahaya Abdullahi will on Wednesday by 9am leave Abuja for Kebbi and proceed to Kamba local government to formally declare for PDP and to possibly indicate his interest to contest his present seat,” Gulma was quoted as saying.
Recall that Abdullahi had participated in the APC’s Kebbi governorship primaries, in which he reportedly scored zero votes.
He had since rejected the outcome of the exercise and described it as shambolic and a child’s play.
Abdullahi’s defection might not be unconnected with the governorship primaries and many failed truces by the national leadership of the APC.
