Dauda Lawal, the fifth civilian governor of Zamfara State, has stated that he will continue to serve in the People’s Democratic Party.
Bello Matawalle, the previous governor and Minister of State for Defence, urged the governor to join the All Progressives Congress, and the decision was made in response.
Mustafa Kaura, the Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Communications, told news men over the phone that Lawal had since stated that he would not leave the party that provided him with the ticket to run for governor in 2023.

“Some people have been spreading rumours that Governor Dauda Lawal is planning to dump his party, the PDP, and join APC.
“There is no iota of truth in this. As such, I want the PDP supporters to disregard this.
“Governor Dauda Lawal will remain in the PDP and has no intention of joining any other party. He is a true believer who believes in God and whatever God has destined to happen must happen, no matter the party he belongs,” he said.
Matawalle, in a statement issued in Gusau on Sunday by the former Commissioner for Information, Alhaji Ibrahim Dosara, had called on the governor to join the APC.
He urged Dauda Lawal to join the progressives for the state’s advancement, encouraging him to join the APC openly rather than covertly.
The minister gave Lawal the assurance that he had no ill will against him and that he was welcome to join the cosy APC.
In addition, Matawalle asked Lawal to join the APC, which he called the leader in security, advancement, developments, peace, and tranquility.
Additionally, he ordered the governor to provide basic infrastructure and developmental projects throughout the state in order to justify the enormous federal payments.
According to the minister, President Bola Tinubu is a competent manager of peace and a progressive leader.
The minister recalled how the government recently killed a number of terrorists who had previously terrorised the state, the surrounding area, and the nation as a whole, together with their foot soldiers.
According to Matawalle, the security high commands and the Ministry of Defence were figuring out ways to guarantee that the presidential orders to expel terrorists and criminals from the nation were followed.
