Shocker: Bamanga Tukur’s Wife Dumps PDP, Registers In APC

Hajiya Asiya Mohammed Bello, wife of the sacked PDP Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, dumped the party which disgraced her husband and registered as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Gabasawa Ward in Kaduna North Local Government area of Kaduna State.

Tukur's wife registration card number is 0623374.

"It is true that our registration officer registered Tukur’s wife and issued her a registration card. This is one of the developments of democracy in Nigeria where you see an immediate past PDP chairman’s wife registering for APC. 

"As far as I am concerned, they might be united as husband and wife but may have different opinions as the far as the political scenario is concerned, it is to show you that it is a falling period for the PDP."

The supervising officer for APC registration in the Kaduna north area Kaduna State, Shaibu Lilly, confirmed.

Efforts to speak with Tukur's wife at the former PDP Chairman's residence was not successful. The house is a duplex with several boys quarters located at a sharp bend on a large expanse of land at Gwari Crescent GRA of Unguwan Rimi, Kaduna.

In the words of Malam Yahaya Gambo, who is Asiya Bello’s driver:

"It is true that Hajiya Asiya registered today with of the APC” while showing her registration card which was still in his possession. He, however, said, “You will not be able to speak with her because she fasted today and she is preparing to break the fast and pray, you may wish to come and see her at about 9 or 10am."

 

When contacted, APC chieftain in Kaduna, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed said:

“I do know that Bamagar’s wife has been a supporter of the APC. She has been a progressive person.”
