In a stunning political development, a large number of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members in Jigawa State have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The defection was led by Comrade Usman Ya’u Galamawa, the former Chairman of the Teachers’ Union, Jigawa State chapter.
Among the notable individuals who have abandoned the PDP for the APC are:
- Comrade Usman Ya’u Galamawa: Former Chairman of the Teachers’ Union, Jigawa State chapter

- Aminu Garu: A former PDP supporter
- Mal. Wada Galamawa: A PDP member from Dutse Local Government Area

The defection was endorsed by several high-ranking officials, including the Honorable Member representing Dutse Local Government in the State House of Assembly, Hon. Tasiu Ishaq Soja, and the Honorable Commissioner for Higher Education, Prof. Isah Yusuf Chamo.
The defectors were formally received by the Executive Governor of Jigawa State, Malam Umar A Namadi FCA, at the Government House. This mass defection is seen as a significant blow to the PDP in Jigawa State, and a major boost to the APC’s fortunes in the state. The development is likely to have far-reaching implications for the political landscape of Jigawa State.
Under Governor Malam Umar A Namadi FCA’s leadership, Jigawa State has witnessed significant developments, including the creation of the Jigawa State Youth Empowerment/Employment Agency and the provision of financial assistance to small and medium enterprises.
