About 18 APC governors, led by the Caretaker Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) and Yobe State Governor, His Excellency, Mai Mala Buni are expected to be in Gusau Tuesday, to formally welcome Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle into their fold.

Governor Matawalle’s Director-General of Media, Mr Yusuf Idris, said the ceremony will see the governor decamping and also witness the defection of legislators.

“The governor will come along with all the National and State Assembly members as well as the PDP executives from all levels of the state,” Idris said.

Idris said: “All is now set for our governor to move from the PDP to the APC.

“All the committees that are charged with responsibility for a smooth transition of the governor have reported from their various committees that things have taken shape for the event which is scheduled to hold at a grand reception in Gusau on Tuesday, June 29,” he said.

Idris said the governor’s planned defection to APC would further strengthen the party in the state.

“Let me emphasise to you that Zamfara politicians have always been a single-family and even as a PDP governor, my principal, Governor Bello Matawalle has always related very well with those in the opposition parties.

“Many people from high and low have followed the governor into the PDP in order to offer their positive advice for the growth and development of the state, some of such persons were given top government positions and responsibilities which they held very well too,” Idris stated.
