Peoples Democratic Party has warned the Zamfara State Governor, Bello Mattawale and members of the state House of Assembly and National Assemblies to be ready to lose their seats if they leave the party for the All Progressives Congress.
This was revealed in a statement by the National Publicity secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan on Monday.
According to the statement, the party cautioned its lawmakers in the state and federal against the move, saying it contravene the party’s constitutional provision.
“The PDP categorically cautions Bello Matawalle to know that his plans amounts to a decision to vacate office as no law allows him to cross over to any other party with the governorship mandate statutorily given to the PDP through the ballot box, as already established by the provision of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and the standing judgment of the Supreme Court.
“The PDP hopes that Bello Matawalle as well as members of the National and State Assembly from Zamfara state will take caution”, Ologbondiyan said.
However, the party had announced the dissolvement of the state executive of the party, adding that the decision was in line with the provision of Section 29 (2)(b) of the PDP Constitution 2017.
