VP Shettima to officially welcome Gov Lawal into APC Tuesday
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State has finalised plans to receive Vice President Kashim Shettima ahead of a scheduled event on Tuesday, where Governor Dauda Lawal will be formally welcomed into the party.
The announcement was made by the state APC chairman, Tukur Danfulani Maikatako, during a stakeholders’ meeting held on Saturday at the party’s secretariat in Gusau.
Maikatako said preparations have been concluded to ensure a successful visit and ceremony, which is expected to attract key party members and supporters from across the state.
He said the party in the state was very happy with the recent defection of Governor Lawal into APC, adding that the Vice President Kashim Shattima, along with the national leadership of the party, would visit the state for the grand reception of the governor.
He said, “We all know that Zamfara has for long been one of the party’s stronghold state which the defected Governor was once a bonified member. Now that he decided to return home, having been satisfied that the APC remains his second choice after the one he dumped for obvious reasons.
“As state party chairman, I urge all our esteemed members across the 147 wards of the 14 local government areas in the state to come out en masse to honour the Presidential visit which is meant for achieving more strength and popularity of the APC before the 2027 general elections.”
Danfulani also called on party members to be united and forget factionalism within the APC system in the state.
“I am calling all our esteemed members to be united and forget differences that caused friction within the party in the state. We are one family that has many things in common, especially in the area of making Zamfara and Nigeria great again,” he said.
Speaking also, the former state party chairman, Lawali Liman, appealed to members of the party across the state to take the message down to their respective wards and local government areas, that APC is one family targeting common goals for the success of the party.
