The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has sustained stable political recruitment in the preparations for the 2023 general elections, depopulating the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Katsina State. The PDP harvested over 20,000 members from the APC and NNPP in Daura senatorial district of President Muhammadu Buhari. The president’s nephew, Fatuhu Muhammed, representing Daura/ Sandamu/Mai’adua, in the House of Representatives, Abuja, had penultimate week, dumped the APC for the PDP. Many of the decampees include his supporters in Mai’adua, Zango and Baure local government areas.
The State PDP chairman, Salisu Majigiri; the governorship candidate, Senator Yakubu Lado, the senatorial candidate, Ahmed Baba-Kaita, serving senator in Daura district, at the defection venue noted that the mass movement in one local government alone from the President’s zone signals the ‘beginning of the end of the APC’.
