Again! 3 PDP members dump party for APC 

Three members of the house of representatives from Katsina state have defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The notices of defection were read by Tajudeen Abbas, speaker of the house, during plenary on Thursday.

All three lawmakers attributed their defections to the internal crisis in the opposition party.

Abdullahi Balarabe, who represents the Bakori/Danja federal constituency, said he sought a more stable platform due to the “protracted crisis” in the PDP.

Abubakar Albaba Aliyu, who represents the Batasari/Safana/Dan-Musa federal constituency, said he left the PDP due to its “lack of cohesiveness”.

Yusuf Majigiri, representing the Mashi/Dutsi federal constituency, cited a “high level of internal crisis without cure” in the PDP.

Dikko Radda, governor of Katsina; Muhammad Ali, APC chairman in the state; and some political bigwigs in the state were at plenary to witness the defection.
