Reactions have continued to trail the defection of Governor Bello Muhammad Matawalle of Zamfara State from the People Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The presidential aide, who made the disclosure via a post on his verified Facebook page on Sunday morning, wrote ‘’So Zamfara is back home! Welcome, Matawalle’’.
However, there is no official statement to confirm that the governor has officially joined the party as at press time but Bashir’s post has triggered reactions on social media.
