In a significant political development in Kebbi State, Hajiya Maria Waziri, the former National Women Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Her defection was publicly announced at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi, where she was accompanied by a group of supporters, marking a pivotal shift in her political allegiance. The governor of Kebbi State, Dr. Nasir Idris, warmly welcomed her into the party, implying that her decision adds value to the APC and reinforces the party's agenda of inclusivity and impactful governance. Governor Idris praised Waziri's capabilities and her potential contributions to the growth of Kebbi State, emphasizing the importance of unity and progressive politics. He reaffirmed the APC's commitment to providing governance focused on the welfare of the citizens. His reception of Waziri not only highlights the governor's support for her but also signals the party's eagerness to incorporate influential figures from opposition parties, potentially strengthening their political base in the state. Waziri's defection comes at a time when political realignments are crucial for parties in Nigeria, particularly as the country approaches future elections. This move may have significant implications for the PDP in the region, as it reflects ongoing shifts within political loyalties. It also raises questions about the stability of party affiliations in Nigerian politics, where realignments are common and can have a major impact on electoral success and governance.
