The Zamfara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has responded to the defection of Hon. Marahazu Salisu Faru, a member of the State House of Assembly representing Maradun Constituency, to the All Progressives Congress (APC). In a statement, the PDP expressed that it was not surprised by Faru’s decision, citing that individuals who prioritize personal interests over the collective will of the people often face negative consequences.
According to the PDP, the APC is responsible for the current state of hunger, insecurity, and corruption in Zamfara and the nation as a whole. The party stated that the people still recall the difficulties they experienced under the APC government. In contrast, the PDP praised Governor Dauda Lawal for his efforts in restoring hope, rebuilding institutions, and securing the lives and livelihoods of the people.
The PDP expressed confidence that Hon. Faru will eventually regret his decision, as the people of Zamfara have reportedly decided to stand firmly with the PDP. The party urged its members to remain strong and united, emphasizing that no defection can undermine its foundation or thwart the will of the people.
The defection of Hon. Faru to the APC has sparked a reaction from the PDP, which views the move as a personal decision rather than a reflection of the party’s popularity. The PDP has reaffirmed its commitment to the people of Zamfara, highlighting its progress in rebuilding the state and addressing the challenges faced by its citizens.
As the political landscape in Zamfara continues to evolve, the PDP’s response to Hon. Faru’s defection underscores the party’s resilience and determination to maintain its presence in the state. The people of Zamfara will likely be watching the developments closely, as the state prepares for future elections and continues to address its ongoing challenges.
