Hon. Ibrahim Gidado, the Special Adviser to the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The decampee was the former member of the Sokoto State House of Assembly, representing Sokoto South I Constituency.
Gidado said he and his supporters decided to dump the PDP over lack of focus and trust in the party’s leaders.

The former lawmaker further stated that he decided to join the APC “to team up and rescue Sokoto State from the failed administration of Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal”, noting that the present administration has “failed woefully especially in terms of fulfilling pledges to the electorate”.
Gidado was welcomed to the APC on Saturday by the party’s leader in the state, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, and the state chairman of the party, Hon. Isah Sadiq Achida alongside APC Youth leader in the state, Alhaji Nasir Italy.
Sen. Wamakko, who expressed happiness over Gidado’s defection to the APC, assured him of equal treatment.
The decampee was accompanied by the former Sokoto State Commissioner for Land and Housing in the state, Barr. Nasir Ibrahim Dantsoho, among others.
