Tuesday, June 10, 2025 - Bello Matawalle, Nigeria’s minister of state for defence and former governor of Zamfara State, has publicly invited incumbent Governor Dauda Lawal to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The invitation was extended during an Eid-el-Kabir homage
paid to Matawalle at his residence in Maradun by a large gathering of
supporters. Addressing the crowd, Matawalle urged Governor Lawal to abandon
what he described as a “hide-and-seek” approach and make his move to the APC
official.
According to a statement by Ibrahim Dosara, a former Zamfara
commissioner for information, Matawalle expressed readiness to welcome Lawal
into the APC, assuring him that there were no personal grievances and that the
party represented a united front focused on peace, development, and security in
the state.
“Dauda Lawal should come and join the APC rather than the
hide-and-seek type of game the governor is currently playing,” Matawalle was
quoted as saying.
