The immediate past sole administrator of Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State, Yusuf Bindin, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), to the All Progressives Congress, (APC).
Bindin was received into the APC by the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, during a meeting held in Abuja.
Confirming the development in a statement issued on Sunday in Gusau, the Zamfara State APC Publicity Secretary, Yusuf Idris, said the former local government administrator joined the ruling party alongside his supporters.
According to Idris, Bindin served as sole administrator of Maru Local Government Area for one year under the administration of Governor Dauda Lawal.
He also previously served as Programme Manager of the State Universal Basic Education Board, (SUBEB), under the PDP-led government in the state.
Idris quoted Bindin as saying that his decision to leave the PDP followed consultations with his supporters and dissatisfaction with the performance of the PDP-led government in Zamfara.
While receiving the defectors at his residence in Abuja, Matawalle welcomed them to the APC and urged them to contribute to the growth of the party in the state.
The event was attended by the Zamfara State APC Chairman, Tukur Danfulani, among other party officials.
