The Zamfara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has launched a scathing criticism against state lawmakers who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing their decision as politically unwise and ill-timed.
PDP Questions Lawmakers' Motives
In an official statement released by the party's Publicity Secretary, the PDP expressed deep disappointment with the legislators' move, suggesting it was driven by personal interests rather than the welfare of their constituents. The party questioned the timing of the defection, noting it comes at a critical period when Zamfara State faces numerous challenges requiring stable leadership.
Warning of Political Consequences
The opposition party warned the defecting lawmakers that they may have made a costly miscalculation that could haunt their political careers. The PDP emphasized that the people of Zamfara are watching closely and will remember these actions during future elections.
Confidence in Party Strength
Despite the defections, the PDP expressed unwavering confidence in its political strength within Zamfara State. Party officials maintained that the PDP remains a formidable force that continues to enjoy significant support among the electorate.
Call for Constituency Consultation
The party criticized the lawmakers for what it described as a failure to properly consult with their constituents before making such a significant political decision. This move, according to the PDP, demonstrates a disconnect between the representatives and the people they were elected to serve.
The political landscape in Zamfara State continues to evolve as both parties position themselves for upcoming electoral contests, with this defection marking one of the latest developments in the state's dynamic political scene.
