A former Nigeria’s ambassador to Jordan and Iran, and one of the party governorship aspirants Faruk Malami Yabo has resigned from All Progressive Congress (APC).
He immediately joined the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto state, less than two months to 2023 presidential election.
While addressing mammoth crowd at a function on Thursday in Sokoto said, “I feel relief leaving my former party to join people of like minds in moving our state forward.
“This decision was not mine alone but, it became the best option for us, in retrospect of our commitment and investment in APC. I therefore enjoin my supporters across the state to see reason with us and move en masse into PDP.”
Receiving Malami, Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State commended the former envoy for joining the PDP. Also speaking, the gubernatorial candidate of the PDP in Sokoto, Sa’idu Umaru, commended the people of Yabo local government for coming out in large numbers to receive the new party members.
