In a statement by the party's Publicity Secretary, Halliru Andi, the PDP acknowledged Hon. Faru's decision but expressed no surprise, stating that history often judges those who prioritize personal interests over the people's collective will. The party reaffirmed its commitment to rescuing and rebuilding Zamfara, contrasting itself with the APC, which it blamed for the state's crises—including insecurity, hunger, and corruption.
The PDP accused the APC of plunging Zamfara into hardship, citing banditry, unpaid workers' salaries, and mismanagement of public resources during its tenure. It emphasized that Governor Dauda Lawal's administration is already reversing these failures through reforms and development programs, proving the PDP's dedication to progress.
The party predicted Hon. Faru would regret his move, asserting that Zamfara voters remain loyal to the PDP. It expressed confidence in sweeping future elections at all levels, urging members to stay united and resolute. "No defection can weaken our resolve or the people's will," the statement concluded, declaring the PDP as the true party of the masses.
