He has forgotten so quickly what that evil party did to him in 2019 election. Well, wishing him all the best in his political career. Only analog people with analog thinking brain will join an evil party full of evil people.

I believe there is a consensus candidate for 2023.
Osinbajo likely candidate.
Continuity is on the table

APC is a perfect platform to build the Northern agenda.

Coalition with the Yorubas, Ooduwa Nation cum Igboho’s agitation is a swing factor.

Politician without scruples.

APC rigged election you contested and PDP went to court and reclaimed your mandate and today you think APC is the best for you ?

How i wish Yari the former governor can teach him a lesson just to tell him that he was not a popular candidate before supreme Court awarded that seat to him.

embarassedThis is defection of necessity. The truth must be told that in a free and fair election it almost impossible to win in Zamfara as a PDP governor just as it is to win in Imo State as an APC governor.
It can only be through the court.
