Why I dumped PDP for APC – Gov Lawal
The Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal, has explained the reasons behind his decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party and join the All Progressives Congress.
The announcement was made on his behalf by the Acting Governor, Malam Mani Mummuni, during a press conference at the Government House in Gusau.
Mummuni said the governor’s decision came after extensive consultations with key political stakeholders across the state.
According to him, the final resolution was reached during a stakeholders’ meeting held at the Rescue Hall inside the Government House in Gusau.
He explained that the move was taken after careful consideration of the political situation in the state and the need to align with a platform that would better support the government’s development agenda.
Mummuni added that the governor believes the new political alignment will help strengthen governance and improve the delivery of democratic dividends to the people of Zamfara State.
According to him, the meeting was the culmination of a broad engagement process earlier initiated by the governor to assess the political situation and determine the state’s next direction.
He explained that the decision to join the APC was influenced by the deepening internal crisis within the PDP, as well as the need to foster greater unity and consensus in tackling Zamfara State’s security and development challenges.
Mummuni added that stakeholders at the meeting overwhelmingly advised the governor to align with the ruling party’s Renewed Hope development agenda in the interest of stability, progress, and the overall development of Zamfara State and the country.
He therefore urged supporters and political stakeholders across the state to begin registering with the APC as the party commences its e-registration exercise, with the aim of strengthening the progressive movement in Zamfara.
The acting governor assured that the move reflects Lawal’s commitment to unity, stability, and accelerated development for the people of Zamfara State and Nigeria.
