Zamfara Lawmakers Plan Return to APC After Meeting Tinubu
Eight members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly, who recently resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), are preparing to return to the party following a meeting with President Bola Tinubu. The meeting was facilitated by the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, and was reported by Ahmad Dan-Wudil, the media aide to the former Zamfara State governor.
During the meeting, the lawmakers expressed their loyalty to the APC and committed to supporting Tinubu. Matawalle assured the integration of the lawmakers into the Tinubu Again Movement, aimed at mobilizing support for the President and other APC candidates in the upcoming elections.
The lawmakers had previously left the APC due to issues such as worsening insecurity, alleged injustice, and non-payment of salaries. However, the Speaker of the Zamfara State House of Assembly, Bilyaminu Moriki, stated that the lawmakers were suspended on February 26, 2024, for gross misconduct and other violations.
