Senate Leader and former All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Kebbi State, Senator Yahaya Abdullahi has on Tuesday resigned from the ruling party.

The defection of the Senator who is set to join the opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP was announced by his special adviser on media and publicity, Muhammad Jamil Gulma.

“Senate Leader Dr Yahaya Abdullahi will on Wednesday by 9 am leave Abuja for Kebbi and proceed to Kamba local government to formally declare for PDP and to possibly indicate his interest to contest his present seat, ” he said.

Yahaya had earlier been a frontline aspirant in the Kebbi governorship primaries of the APC, but could not secure the ticket having had zero votes, a result which he had since rejected and described as shambolic and a child’s play.

Hence, there have been speculations that his defection may be related to the governorship primaries and several allegations of misuse of power by the national leadership of the ruling APC.
