The Peoples Democratic Party yesterday cautioned Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State against his planned defection to the All Progressives Congress , stressing that his defection 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 main opposition party.The main opposition party has dissolved the state’s executive council as a precautionary measure.

The party said it was watching developments in Zamfara State as they concern reports of plans by Matawalle to cross over to the APC. The PDP also further cautioned members of the National Assembly as well as members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly not to allow themselves to be pushed into losing their seats as the provisions of the constitution are very clear in barring lawmakers from cross carpeting, except in a situation of a division in the political party upon which platform they were elected.The party urged Matawalle as well as members of the National and State Assembly from Zamfara State to take caution.

The governor had last month sacked all the commissioners because of the fear that some of them will not go to the APC with him.Meanwhile, the National Working Committee of the PDP has approved the dissolution of the Zamfara State Executive.
