The former Zamfara State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Jamil Jibo Magayaki, has formally joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), aligning himself with the state’s ruling party. Dr. Jamil’s move comes shortly after Governor Dauda Lawal also defected to the APC, signaling a major political shift in Zamfara State. Announcing his decision on social media, Dr. Jamil explained that the defection was influenced by the current political realities in the state. “I, Dr. Jamil Jibo Magayaki, the Zamfara State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), hereby announce my formal defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC),” he said. He added, “My decision to join the APC is based on the current political reality in Zamfara State, which demands alignment with a platform better positioned to address the challenges of security, development and governance for the benefit of our people.” Dr. Jamil’s defection marks another significant realignment ahead of upcoming political contests in the state, consolidating the APC’s influence at the state level.
