| Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State |
Awarenessinfomedia has gathered that a significant political development, Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State and his deputy, Mani Mummuni, have defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The announcement was made on Monday by Mummuni during a meeting with state executive council members in Gusau, the state capital, and confirmed by Nuhu Anka, director-general of media and communication at the governor's office.
According to Anka, Lawal's decision to join the APC was made after "extensive consultations with stakeholders, political leaders, elders, and supporters across the state." The governor cited the need for stability, progress, and sustainable development in Zamfara State as the driving force behind his decision.
The statement highlighted the prolonged internal crisis, leadership disagreements, and unresolved structural challenges within the PDP at both national and state levels as factors that necessitated the move.
Lawal's defection to the APC is expected to have significant implications for Zamfara State and the PDP. The governor's decision is seen as a major boost to the APC, which is the ruling party at the federal level. The PDP, on the other hand, is now left with two governors - Seyi Makinde of Oyo and Bala Mohammed of Bauchi.
In a statement, Anka said Lawal's decision to join the APC was aimed at strengthening unity, improving security, accelerating development, and ensuring that Zamfara State benefits fully from stronger collaboration with the Federal Government.
The governor's commitment to development and stability in the state is expected to drive his decision-making as he works with the APC.
This development marks a significant shift in Zamfara State's political landscape, with potential implications for the 2027 elections and beyond.
As the situation unfolds, stakeholders will be watching closely to see how this affects the state's development and the fortunes of the PDP and APC.
