BREAKING: Another PDP Senator Dumps Party, As Two PDP HoRs Members Join Ayade In APC
Senator representing Zamfara Central Senatorial District, Hassan Mohammed Gusau, on Tuesday, at plenary announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party.
Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, read Gusau’s letter informing his colleagues of his action at the plenary.
Gusau, according to the letter, attributed his decision to the alleged factionalisation and infighting in the Zamfara State chapter of the PDP.
He, however, failed to make clear if he will now pitch his tent with the All Progressives Congress.
He told his colleagues that he will make his decision known on the party he hopes to join soon.
Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State is scheduled to formally cross over from the PDP to the APC.
Also last week it, Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, Peter Nwaoboshi, crossed over from the PDP to the APC.
In a related development, two members of the House of Representatives, from Cross River State have defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The two lawmakers are Lego Idagbo and Michael Etaba.
The defections were announced on Tuesday by the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila after reading letters from the two lawmakers.
This defection is one of the latest in the gale of defection that continues to rock the PDP.
It would be recalled that the Governor of Cross River State, Ben Ayade recently decamped from the PDP to the APC.
The defections were protested by Toby Okechukwu, the deputy minority leader.
