Gusau, the capital of Zamfara State, was abuzz on Tuesday, as Governor Dauda Lawal formally joined the All Progressives Congress (APC). The defection of the governor from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) marked a significant shift in the state's political landscape.
The event, held at the Gusau International Trade Fair Complex, was attended by high-ranking officials of the APC. Governor Lawal's decision to switch parties comes amid intense internal crisis within the PDP. Details of the event were not provided.
The reception of Governor Lawal into the APC is seen as a strategic move by the party to strengthen its grip on the state.
