Former PDP National Women Leader Mariya Waziri has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State, marking a significant political shift. Waziri, who has been a member of the PDP for 20 years, cited the APC-led administration’s developmental projects in Kebbi State as the reason for her defection. She was received by Governor Nasir Idris, who welcomed her and her supporters, assuring them of equal treatment within the party.

Governor Idris described Waziri’s defection as a boost to democratic consolidation in the state, reflecting growing confidence in the APC-led administration’s policies and programs. Waziri pledged loyalty to the APC and called on her supporters to remain law-abiding and supportive of government policies.
