The governor insisted that he has no intention of quitting the PDP for either the APC or the African Democratic Party (ADC), which was recently adopted by the Opposition Coalition.

Governor Lawal made this known speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Wednesday night, maintaining that the story about his defection from PDP remained a rumour.

“First of all, I’m glad that you said a rumour that APC, ADC and whatever political parties are calling on me to join their party,” Governor Lawal said when asked about the rumour.

“And I made it clear that I am a PDP card-carrying member and I am still in PDP, I have no intention of going anywhere.

“So, what you heard is a rumour, but I am still in PDP and have no intention of going anywhere for now.”

He dismissed opposition forces in the state, stating that he has no need to seek refuge in the APC to shield himself from anyone.

He said that all the forces in the opposition were there in 2023 elections, but that did not stop him from going on to win the governorship election in the state.

Governor Lawal insisted that he does not fear opposition figureheads in the state, such as former Governors Sani Yerima, Bello Matawalle, and Abdulaziz Yari, saying that he will defeat them again in the 2027 elections.

He acknowledged that the PDP was facing an internal crisis but said the party was working on resolving the issues already and that it iwa just a matter of time for the dust to settle.

On his relationship with President Bola Tinubu, Governor Lawal said he has a very good relationship with the President but they remained in opposing parties.

Asked if he would support the president during 2027 elections, the Zamfara State governor said, “lets see how events will unfold, there is still time to 2027, we still have two years down the line. So, I don’t think politics should be the main issue right now, I think we should focus on governance.”
