Speaking on behalf of the decampees on Wednesday, the chairman of the Furniture Makers Association in Sokoto State, Lawali Lalala, said they were convinced with the good leadership style of the PDP-led government in the state, adding that they were happy to partner with the state government in moving the state forward.
