Tambuwal Makes Another Big Catch, Yabo, For PDP In Sokoto

 Gov. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal  of Sokoto State has received into the fold of the state People’s Democratic Party (PDP), a chieftain of the state branch of the All Progressives Congress (APC).


Hon. Dahiru Maishanu Yabo, the defector, a former Commissioner for Information as well as Solid Minerals in the state, was received by the Governor, his Deputy, Manir Muhammmad Dan Iya, the Secretary to the State Government, Hon. Muhammad Mainasara Ahmad (Mni), the state PDP Chairman, Alhaji Bello Muhammad and other government officials at Government House, Sokoto on Thursday. 

Explaining that he dumped the APC because it lacks internal democracy, is wrought with favoritism and bootlicking, 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,” Yabo, who was a founding member of the APC and member of the defunct ‘Amaechi for President’ campaign team said, 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.
