Zamfara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the defection of the member representing Maradun Constituency in the House of Assembly, Marahazu Faru, to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

A statement issued by the State Publicity Secretary of PDP, Haliru Andi, said the party respects the lawmaker’s personal choice, adding that it was not surprised.

“History has shown that those who put personal interest above the collective will of the people often find themselves on the wrong side of history. The PDP remains the only party with a genuine commitment to the rescue and rebuilding of Zamfara State,” Andi stated.

He continued: “The APC, which Hon. Faru has joined, is the very cause of the hunger, insecurity, and corruption ravaging our state and the entire nation. It was under the APC that Zamfara was brought to its knees — where banditry thrived, workers suffered, and public resources were mismanaged. The people of Zamfara can never forget the years of pain and neglect they endured under the APC.

“Under the leadership of Governor Dauda Lawal, the PDP government is steadily restoring hope, rebuilding institutions, and securing the lives and livelihoods of our people. The ongoing reforms and development initiatives are clear proof that the PDP is the party of progress and compassion.

“We are confident that Hon. Faru will soon regret his decision, as the people of Zamfara have already made up their minds to stand firmly with the PDP. Come the next elections, our party will win overwhelmingly at all levels from the wards to the national stage — because the PDP remains the true party of the masses.”
