The Forum described the move as a bold and patriotic decision inspired by the “visionary and unifying leadership” of Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Mohammed Matawalle, and former governor, Senator Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar.
In a statement signed by its chairman, Abubakar Ibrahim Gusau, the group said the defection—alongside that of five PDP ward chairmen, several party executives and hundreds of supporters—proved that the APC remained the only credible political platform in Zamfara.
