Tuesday, March, 10 2026 - Governor Dauda lawal and entire family of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara state have defected to All Progressive Congress APC in the state.
Mummuni announced their defection on Monday, March 9, during
a meeting with members of the state executive council in Gusau, the state
capital.
Nuhu Anka, the director-general of Media and
Communication at the office of the governor, also confirmed Lawal’s defection
to the APC.
In a statement, Anka said the governor’s decision followed
“extensive consultations with stakeholders, political leaders, elders, and
supporters across the state”.
Anka said Lawal joined the ruling party in the “overriding
interest of stability, progress, and the sustainable development of Zamfara
state”.
“This
decision was reached after wide consultations with political stakeholders and
supporters, particularly in view of the prolonged internal crisis, leadership
disagreements, and unresolved structural challenges within the PDP at both the
national and state levels. These challenges have continued to create
uncertainty and distractions that could hinder effective governance and the
delivery of democratic dividends to the people of Zamfara State.
Consequently,
it became necessary to align with a political platform that provides greater
unity, stability, and stronger cooperation with the Federal Government for the
benefit of the people.
The final
deliberation leading to this historic decision was held at the Government House
in Gusau under the coordination and leadership of the Deputy Governor,
alongside senior government officials and key political stakeholders.
By joining
the APC, the Governor reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening unity,
improving security, accelerating development, and ensuring that Zamfara State
benefits fully from stronger collaboration with the Federal Government.”
