The Northern Elders Unity Forum of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to caution the Minister of State for Defence, Mohammed Bello Matawalle, over alleged attempts to lure PDP members into the All Progressives Congress (APC), particularly in Zamfara and Kaduna states.
The Forum accused Matawalle of using his influence and “excessive wealth” to coerce PDP supporters and party officials into defecting to the ruling party, describing the move as a deliberate attempt to weaken the opposition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
National Secretary of the Forum, Dr. Abbas Sadauki, made the allegation after a meeting with PDP elders from Kaura Namoda, Zurmi, Tsafe, and Bungudu Local Government Areas of Zamfara State.
According to him, Matawalle’s “desperate” efforts to dismantle PDP structures across the North-West threaten the survival of democracy and fair political competition in the region.
“The minister is using his position and political appointments to destabilize our party and lure our hardworking loyalists to the APC,” Dr. Sadauki alleged. “Such actions create a vacuum in the opposition and undermine democratic values.”
He warned that the continued poaching of PDP members could erode political diversity and harm Nigeria’s democratic growth.
“Dismantling opposition structures in any form is not a good omen for our democracy,” he added. “President Tinubu should urgently call Matawalle to order before his actions uproot the democratic foundations built on fairness, justice, and national cohesion.”
Reports from Zamfara indicate that more than 24,000 PDP members, including several former executives and elders across six local governments, have defected to the APC in recent weeks.
