Shettima to Visit Zamfara as APC Prepares to Receive Gov. Lawal

The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has finalized plans to host Vice President Kashim Shettima, who is expected to formally receive Governor Dauda Lawal into the party next Tuesday.

The disclosure was made on Saturday by the state APC Chairman, Tukur Danfulani Maikatako, during a stakeholders’ meeting held in Gusau.

Maikatako expressed satisfaction over Governor Lawal’s return to the APC, noting that the Vice President, alongside members of the party’s national leadership, would be present in the state for the official reception.

He described Zamfara as a traditional stronghold of the APC, emphasizing that the governor’s defection signals a return to familiar political ground.

The chairman called on party members across all 147 wards in the 14 local government areas of the state to turn out in large numbers to welcome the Vice President and demonstrate unity ahead of the 2027 general elections. He also urged members to set aside internal differences and work collectively toward strengthening the party.

In a similar appeal, former state APC Chairman, Lawal M. Liman, encouraged party faithful to mobilize support at the grassroots level, stressing that the APC remains a united family committed to achieving shared political objectives in Zamfara State.
