The Deputy Governor of Zamfara State, Mani Malam Mummuni, has officially announced the defection of the state's leadership from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking on behalf of Governor Dauda Lawal, Deputy Governor Mummuni confirmed the move, marking a major shift in the political landscape of Zamfara State.
The announcement comes amid ongoing crises within the PDP at the national level and follows weeks of speculation about Governor Lawal's potential realignment with the APC ahead of future elections.
This defection is seen as a strategic step to strengthen ties with the federal government and address pressing state challenges, including security and development initiatives. It further consolidates the APC's dominance in the North-West geopolitical zone.
The move has sparked reactions across political circles, with some viewing it as a response to internal PDP struggles, while others highlight its implications for the 2027 general elections.
Further details on the formal processes and any accompanying statements from the APC or PDP are expected in the coming days.
