Classic announced his defection on Thursday, after meeting with the state APC Chairman Alhaji Tukur Danfulani and Chairman Senator Abdul’aziz Yari Political Organization, Alhaji Lawal M Liman as well as other Zamfara APC stakeholders in Kaduna.
Alhaji Kabiru Yahayya Classic represented Anka/Talata Mafara Federal Constituency in the 9th Assembly between 2019 and 2023 under the umbrella of the PDP.
Classic defected along with the PDP structure in Talata Mafara Local Government Area, including the LG PDP Chairman and All 10 out of 11 PDP Ward Chairmen in Talata Mafara LGA.

“We are happy to receive our brother in our great party, this is a great development.
“More defectors from the PDP-led Government in Zamfara are ready to join the APC very soon
