Sokoto State Commissioner for Careers and Security Matters Col. Garba Moyi (rtd) has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
His defection is coming barely 24 hours after the Chairman of Tangaza Local Government Area, Salihu Kalanjine, joined the APC.
A statement by Senator Aliyu Wamakko’s Special Adviser on New Media, Bashar Abubakar, said Moyi left the PDP because ‘Tambuwal’s administration lacks trust and focus to govern efficiently’.
It explained further that Moyi doesn’t want Senator Wamakko to direct the affairs of Sokoto APC supporters alone without being associated with his giant efforts.
The statement reads: “The Commissioner announced his resignation as a member of the PDP and also as member of the State Executive Council in charge of the Ministry of Careers and Security Matters.
“Senator Wamakko, who received Moyi at his home, urged him to work hard in ensuring APC’s victory in Sokoto East and the state in the 2023 general elections.
“Col. Moyi was accompanied by the APC deputy governorship candidate Idris Gobir, senatorial and House of Representatives candidates Ibrahim Isa and Abdulkadir Danbuga, and the APC chairman in Sabon Birni council, Yawale Baki.
