The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara has dismissed claims on the defection of some personal aides of Governor Bello Matawalle to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
Reports emerged on social media during the week that some special advisers to the governor had dumped the APC for the major opposition party in Zamfara.
However, in a statement issued on Friday in Gusau by its publicity secretary in the state, Yusuf Idris, the party described the reports as misleading information.
Governor Matawalle switched to the APC in June 2021.
The statement read: “The attention of the Zamfara APC has been drawn to a few social media reports making the rounds that some prominent members have left the party to the PDP in the state.
“The report is completely misleading and a desperate move by both the PDP and the defectors to build a fake image
