Gov Dauda Lawal: Zamfara APC Set To Host Tinubu

The Zamfara chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has concluded arrangements to formally welcome Dauda Lawal into the party.

This is contained in a statement issued in Gusau on Saturday by the State APC Publicity Secretary, Malam Yusuf Idris.

Recall  Gov. Dauda Lawal of Zamfara had recently defected from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to the statement, the formal reception, scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, will be attended by President Bola Tinubu, who will be represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima.

“Shettima will be accompanied by the National Executives of the party as well as the immediate past governors of Zamfara and other major stakeholders of the party in the state.

“Similarly, other APC governors, National Assembly members and other top-notch members of the APC within and outside the state are expected to attend.

“The party has already strategised on how to mobilise supporters across the board in order to ensure a smooth and successful reception for the governor,” it added.

The statement further said that various committees had also been formed to ensure a hitch-free reception in the state.

“It could be recalled that the governor recently defected from his former political party, the PDP, to the APC.

“Therefore, the party appeals to all members, supporters and well-wishers to come out en masse and welcome our amiable President Bola Tinubu, who will be represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima,” it pleaded.
