The Senate leader, Senator Yahaya Abdullahi has defected from the ruling All progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) in Kebbi State.
His special adviser on media and publicity Muhammad Jamil Gulma who confirmed the defection said, the “Senate Leader Dr Yahaya Abdullahi will on Wednesday (tomorrow) by 9 am leave Abuja for Kebbi and proceed to Kamba Local Government Area to formally declare for PDP and to possibly indicate his interest to contest his present seat”.
Dr Yahaya, who participated in the APC’s Kebbi governorship primaries, was reported to have scored zero votes, an outcome which he had since rejected and described as shambolic and a child’s play.
