Hajiya Kulu Abdullahi, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Women Leader in Sokoto State, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead the March 11 Governorship and State Assembly elections in the state.

This development is contained in a statement issued by Mr Bashar Abubakar, the Special Assistant, Media and Publicity to Sen. Aliyu Wamakko (APC-Sokoto North) on Wednesday.

According to the statement, Abdullahi, the PDP North West Women Forum Chairperson, was warmly received by Wamakko, the APC leader in the state assisted by the party’s governorship candidate, Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu.
