Personal assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on new media, Bashir Ahmad has suggested that there is possibility for defection of Bello Matawalle, governor of Zamfara state from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n

This was made known by the presidential aide, Ahmad in a\u00a0Facebook post on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The post; \u201cSo Zamfara is back home! Welcome Matawalle,\u201d.<\/p>\n

As at the time of reportage, Matawalle has not\u00a0confirmed his rumoured defection to APC, despite speculation of the defection from different quarters and the subsequent denial.<\/p>\n

In April, some APC governors visited Matawalle in Zamfara<\/a> to commiserate with him over the activities of bandits in the state.<\/p>\n

The visit of the APC governors was followed by their PDP counterparts in a move to persuade Matawalle from not joining the APC.<\/p>\n

Since November 2020, two governors \u2013 David Umahi of Ebonyi state and Ben Ayade of Rivers state \u2013 elected under the platform of PDP have joined the APC.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some APC chieftains have been boasting that more PDP governors will join them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
