Tinubu Resolves APC Crisis in Zamfara, Lawmakers Return
President Bola Tinubu has taken steps to address a crisis within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State. Eight members of the State House of Assembly, who had recently resigned from the APC and were reportedly planning to defect to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), met with Tinubu on a Sunday night.
The discussions centered on their grievances that led to their initial resignation and aimed at reconciling them with the APC ahead of the 2027 general election. The lawmakers, led by Minister of State for Defence and former Zamfara State Governor Bello Matawalle, decided to return to the APC and support the party in the upcoming elections.
The eight legislators had cited insecurity, alleged injustice, internal disagreements, and unresolved welfare issues as reasons for their resignation. They had been suspended from the Zamfara State House of Assembly since February 2024 due to a dispute with the House leadership.
Their return to the APC effectively halts their anticipated defection to the ADC.
