Senator Yaro Defects to PDP from APC in Gombe

Senator Yaro has officially defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as announced in a statement made available to journalists. This decision follows consultations with the people of his constituency in the Gombe South Senatorial District.

Yaro expressed that he could not continue with the APC due to dissatisfaction with the party's consensus arrangement for the 2027 elections, which he believes undermines the aspirations of the people in his district. He emphasized that his return to the PDP is motivated by a commitment to pursue a developmental agenda and to represent the interests of his constituents effectively.

Yaro thanked his supporters for their loyalty and declared his intent to seek re-election to continue representing the Gombe South Senatorial District in the Senate. He urged residents to remain united and focused on the future, prioritizing the needs of the people over political interests.
