  • Hamza Dalhatu (Rimi/Charanci/Batagarawa constituency)
  • Salisu Iro (Katsina constituency)
  • Ahmad Dayyabu (Danmusa/Batsari/Safana constituency)

Why the lawmakers defected from APC to PDP

The lawmakers were reported to have left the APC following the unresolved issues regarding the party’s primary elections.

They all lost their bid to return to the Green Chamber as they were defeated in the primaries.

It was gathered that Dalhat had officially announced his exit from the APC through a letter addressed to his Batagarawa Ward “A” party chairman.

However, the remaining two were yet to announce their defection.
