A former senator from Yobe South Sen. Mohammed Hassan and another prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has changed to the (APC).
On Wednesday, Governor Mai Mala Buni in Damaturu verified this, and Alhaji Mamman Mohammed, Director-General, Press and Media Affairs, was there.
According to Mohammed, Hassan aka ‘Dambu’ made his formal defection on Tuesday in Abuja, where he was met by Buni, the Chairman of the APC’s Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee.
“Hassan’s defection was seen by the Senate President, Sen. Ahmad Lawan, Sen. Ibrahim Bomoi, the Minister of Power, Mr. Abubakar Aliyu, and the state APC Chairman, Alhaji Muhammadu Gadaka.”
“The former legislator’s resignation has left a gaping vacuum in the opposition party’s ranks at both the state and federal levels.”
Hassan committed his allegiance and support to the state party leadership, as well as his willingness to strive for its success at all levels, according to Mohammed.
He anticipated that the defection will strengthen the APC’s chances in the state’s Zone ‘B,’ which encompasses the local government areas of Fune, Potiskum, Nangere, and Fika (LGAs).
