The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has described as fake news reports of plans to welcome Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State into the party.
The report was debunked in a statement by the Publicity Secretary of the APC saying, “To say the least, the information is false, unpatriotic, unprofessional, and fabricated through mischievous intents of the writers and the medium.
“For what it is worth, the Zamfara State chapter of the APC has never approached the PDP nor its Governor in the state on any move to ask him in any way to join the APC.
“APC as a party in Zamfara has never been impressed by the dismal performance of Governor Dauda Lawal in the state.
“This disappointing position is certainly the stand of the electorate and many other politicians in the state which was demonstrated at the August 16th, 2025 Kaura Namoda South State House of Assembly bye election where the APC overwhelmingly defeated the ruling PDP.
“This was quickly followed by the decamping of the PDP candidate fielded at the same Kaura Namoda South State House of Assembly bye election along with his multitude supporters to the APC.
“The APC, therefore, does not need the patronage of an unpopular online medium’s lies to draw an already existing unprecedented popularity and support from the electorate.
“The general public should note therefore, that the APC has its well established channels of communication and information dissemination and completely disregard the report on the false setting up of a committee to welcome Zamfara State governor into the party.
“The party will continue to positively engage the general public in a constitutional way”, it further noted.
