GOV LAWAL’s RUMOURED DEFECTION; ZAMFARA APC DENIES SETTING UP COMMITTEE TO RECEIVE HIM
The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress APC has refuted what it termed as a fake news making the rounds online purportedly initiated by ‘confidentialreporters.blogspot.com’ claiming the setting up of a committee to welcome governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State into the party.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Party’s Publicity Secretary in the State, Yusuf Idris Gusau
The statement which described the information as false, unpatriotic and unprofessional, said it was fabricated through mischievous intents of the writers and the medium.
“For what is worth, the Zamfara State chapter of the APC has never approached the PDP nor its governor in the state on any move to ask the governor in any way to join the APC.”
“APC as a party in Zamfara has never been impressed by the decimal and decimating performance of governor Dauda Lawal in the state.’
“This disappointing position is certainly the stand of the electorate and many other politicians in the state which was demonstrated at the August 16th, 2025 Kaura Namoda South State House of Assembly bye election where the APC overwhelmingly defeated the ruling PDP” the statement affirmed.
“This was quickly followed by the decamping of the PDP candidate fielded at the same Kaura Namoda South State House of Assembly bye election along with his multiple supporters to the APC.”
The statement warned that the APC, therefore, does not need the patronage of an unpopular online medium’s lies to draw an already existing unprecedented popularity and support from the electorate.
‘The general public should note therefore that the APC has its well established channels of communication and information dissemination and completely disregard the confidential reporters’ blog report on the false setting up of a committee to welcome Zamfara State governor into the party.”
“The party will continue to positively engage the general public in a civilised way” the statement concluded.
