The Secretary to the Zamfara Government (SSG), Malam Abubakar Nakwada, says the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is targeting 400,000 additional members in the ongoing e-membership registration.

The SSG, therefore, urged Zamfara residents to take advantage of it and actively participate in the e-registration exercise.

Nakwada, in a statement issued in Gusau on Tuesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Mr Sulaiman Tudu, described Gov Lawal’s defection to APC as a great hope for the party’s victory in the 2027 general elections.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Gov Lawal, through his deputy, Malam Mani Mummuni, announced his defection from the PDP to the APC in Gusau on Monday after a stakeholders’ consultation.

Nakwada said: “We target 400,000 additional progressive members from Zamfara in the next 17 days.”

He noted that Gov Lawal’s decision to dump the PDP for APC was over its irreconcilable internal crisis.

“The governor’s decision to join APC was reached during a stakeholders’ meeting chaired by the State Deputy Governor.

“Gov Lawal had earlier launched a state-wide stakeholders’ engagement under a committee led by an elder statesman, Alhaji Salihu Mai Buhu-Gummi, to chart the state’s next political course amidst PDP’s deepening crisis and INEC’s looming timelines for the 2027 general elections.

“Majority of the stakeholders advised the governor to join APC, citing the need for unity and in the interest of bringing development to the state,” the SSG said.

According to him, following collective inputs and careful consideration, including the need for elite consensus towards addressing the state’s security challenges, the governor has decided to join the APC.

“The APC membership e-registration will reopen tomorrow.

“I, therefore, urge residents of the state to come out en masse to register to surpass the 400,000 target,” he advised.

Nakwada added that all Zamfara government’s executive members and political appointees were in total support and agreement with Gov Lawal’s decision to join the APC. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
