The late Senator Isiaka Adeleke’s brother, Ademola Adeleke who was supposed to contest with Hussain some hours before the primary dumped the party for Peoples Democracy Party (PDP).
Adeleke resigned his membership of APC in a letter directed to the APC screening committee led by Hon. Sanusi Rikiji, Speaker, Zamfara State House of Assembly on Tuesday.
inIt would be recalled that the screening committee of the APC had earlier disqualified Hussain from contesting for the senatorial seat for his alleged inability to meet up with the party’s guidelines.

The LG areas include Ejigbo, Ede North , Ede South, Ayedire, Iwo Local Government Areas among others.
