Muhammad Lawal Kurya, the Peoples Democratic Celebration, PDP, candidate for Kaura Namoda South within the final Zamfara State Home of Meeting election, has defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Kurya introduced his defection on Saturday throughout a political gathering organised by Yazeed Shehu Danfulani Initiatives on the Taula Enviornment in Gusau.

Kurya urged his supporters to rally behind the APC, expressing confidence that the occasion stays higher positioned to deal with the state’s safety and developmental challenges.
