Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has revealed the reason behind his decision to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
DAILY POST reports that the governor’s defection to the APC was announced on Monday.
A statement issued by the Director-General of the governor’s media team, Nuhu Salihu Anka, said the decision followed the protracted leadership tussle within the PDP.
According to the statement, the governor’s 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.
“The governor emphasized that his primary responsibility remains the peace, security, and development 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.”
