Former House of Representatives member Kabiru Classic has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressive Congress (APC). Classic represented Anka/Talata Mafara Federal Constituency from 2019-2023. He cited the lack of justice and fairness in Zamfara’s PDP chapter as his reason for defecting.

Classic’s defection includes the PDP structure in Talata Mafara Local Government Area, comprising the LG PDP Chairman and 10 out of 11 PDP Ward Chairmen.

The former federal lawmaker said:

“I am defecting with All PDP structures in Talata Mafara Local Government Area, including the Local Government EXCO of the PDP and the 10 out of 11 Ward Chairmen of the PDP.”

How APC welcomed defecting PDP ex-lawmaker

According to Channels TV, Zamfara APC Chairman Alhaji Tukur Danfulani welcomed Classic, describing his defection as a significant development. Danfulani assured Classic and other defectors of fair treatment within the APC.

Chairman of Senator Yari’s Political Organization, Alhaji Lawal M Liman, praised Classic’s decision to join the APC, emphasizing its manifesto to advance Zamfara and Nigeria. This defection follows another recent switch by Federal Lawmaker Suleiman Gummi from PDP to APC.

After the 2023 general election, the PDP has been experiencing internal crises in many states and at the national level. At the national level, the battle for the party’s structure had been between the camp of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, FCT minister Nyesom Wike and Bala Mohammed, the chairman of the PDP governors’ forum and Bauchi state governor.
