The Sokoto State Chapter of the Miyatti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN), has declared their total support for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The declaration was made by the state Chairman of the Association, Alhaji Muhammadu Magaji Silame during a brief ceremony by PDP to receive members of Miyatti Allah from Wurno Local Government who defected from APC to PDP.
The Chairman, who spoke through his deputy, Alhaji Umaru Abdullahi Wababe, said their decision became imperative as the “APC-led Federal Government has failed Nigerians in every sector”.
The Chairman of Miyatti Allah Cattle Breeders Association explained that they will work hard to ensure the success of PDP candidates at all levels.
He appreciated the efforts of the Sokoto State Government under the leadership of the state Governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal towards bringing development in the state, as well as assisting its members.
Receiving the decampees, PDP State Chairman, Hon. Bello Aliyu Goronyo, welcomed their decision and assured them of equal treatment.
Bello Aliyu Goronyo also called on them to use their wealth of experience and embark on door-to- door campaigns to ensure all the fulani herdsmen and women vote for PDP candidates at all levels.
Speaking earlier, the Chairman of Miyatti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Wurno Local Government Chapter, Ardo Shehu Suleiman gave the assurance that they decamped to the party in order to vote APC out of office, whom, he said, they voted out of ignorance.
Those who graced the occasion, were state Commissioner of Commerce and Industries, Alhaji Bashir Gidado, Wurno Local government Council Chairman, Hon. Abubakar Arzika and PDP Chairman Wurno Local Government, Hon. Yusuf Marafa Wurno, among others.
