The Zamfara State Deputy Governor, Malam Mani Mummuni, has explained why he, Governor Lawal, and other stakeholders have resolved to leave the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and join the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
Mallam Mani, who spoke on behalf of Governor Dauda Lawal, said the decision was reached at a stakeholders’ meeting held on Monday at the Rescue Hall, Government House, Gusau.
“The decision was reached after a broad engagement process earlier initiated by the governor to assess the political situation and chart the state’s forward direction,” he mentioned.
According to the Deputy Governor, the decision was informed by the deepening internal crisis within the PDP and the need to build greater unity and consensus in addressing Zamfara State’s security and development challenges.
He further noted that stakeholders overwhelmingly advised the governor to align with the ruling party’s renewed hope development agenda in the interest of stability, progress, and the collective development of the state and the nation.
“Therefore, we urge supporters and political stakeholders across the state to commence their registration with the APC as the party opens its e-registration with the aim of strengthening the progressive movement in Zamfara,” he stated.
He assured that the decision reflects the governor’s commitment to unity, stability, and accelerated development for the people of Zamfara State and Nigeria.
