APC Chieftain Advises Governor Lawal on Defections
Dr. Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara state and executive director of Patriots for the Advancement of Peace and Social Development, advised Governor Dauda Lawal to appease members of the Zamfara state House of Assembly who have defected. Shinkafi emphasized the importance of ensuring that these lawmakers receive their entitlements to maintain political stability and unity in the state.
He cautioned Governor Lawal to remain vigilant against political actors who may seek to sabotage his administration ahead of the 2027 general elections, referencing the challenges faced by former Governor Bello Matawalle. Shinkafi noted that Zamfara politics has historically been marked by internal conflicts and betrayals, urging Lawal not to be complacent despite the recent influx of defections into the APC.
