Shagari Decamp to APC from PDP
The only surviving member of the old Sokoto State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Minister of water resources, Barrister Mukhtar Shehu Shagari has shifted his allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Serving under former president Olusegun Obasanjo, Shagari was a PDP cornerstone for over 25 years.
However, this August, he opted to join APC ranks, a move sparking much discussion in political circles.
Observers suggest Shagariโs defection arises from perceived unfair treatment by PDPโs national body, despite his longstanding loyalty.
Many of his peers, including former vice president Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, have similarly left the PDP in recent times.
State APC secretary Alhaji Abubakar Yabo confirmed Shagariโs official party switch, putting to rest speculations that the seasoned politician might stay with the PDP against all odds.
On the other hand, PDPโs Sokoto state leadership views Shagariโs departure as a betrayal, given the partyโs previous support for him.
Alhaji Hassan Sahabi Sanyinnawal, the partyโs publicity secretary, expressed confidence that this departure wonโt impact the PDPโs strength in the state.
