Zamfara gov dumps PDP for APC

The Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal and his deputy have left the Peoples Democratic Party to join the All Progressive Congress.

The defection was confirmed by Deputy Governor Mani Malam Mummuni, who spoke on behalf of Lawal during a ceremony attended by party members and government officials.

Mummuni formally announced that the state’s executive leadership had realigned with the APC.

The move comes after weeks of speculation about the governor’s political direction.

The transition was symbolically marked by the removal of the PDP flag from Zamfara Government House, witnessed by Mummuni and members of Lawal’s cabinet.
