Ahead of 2027 general election, Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has claimed that he will defeat the former Governor of the state, Bello Matawalle, if he makes a come back to run.
Lawal stated this on Wednesday while fielding questions on
Channels TV’s Politics Today programme.
The statement comes amid speculation that he might switch
camp to newly unveiled African Democratic Congress, ADC, following the
intractable crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
However, the governor said he remains a member of the PDP,
while also dismissing speculations that he was about to decamp to the All
Progressives Congress.
Speaking about what would happen if the current Minister of
Defense (State) Matawalle decides to seek a ticket for the governorship
position under the APC, governor Lawal said he thinks there is no reason for
him to fear anybody.
He said: “The truth of the matter is, when I contested in
2023 all these forces were there. They were all in APC when I contested in 2023
and I still won.
“What do you think will change now, in 2027 is it not the
same Matawalle that I took over from? I’m praying to God that he should be the
one under APC, and let’s see what will happen in 2027 I’m sure history will
repeat itself.
“He’s (Matawalle) the one that will be an easier race, in
fact, by 10am, it should be a walk over inshallah.”
