Matawalle Reunites Eight Lawmakers with APC in Zamfara
Bello Mohammed Matawalle, the Minister of State for Defence and former governor of Zamfara State, has successfully secured the return of eight members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This strategic move is intended to bolster the party's political base in preparation for the 2027 general elections.
Party loyalists view this development as a significant enhancement to the APC's reconciliation efforts in Zamfara, where the ruling party aims to unify its structure and reintegrate aggrieved members. The lawmakers reconsidered their defection from the APC after discussions with Matawalle, who is actively promoting reconciliation and political mobilization through the Tinubu Again Movement (TAM).
They reaffirmed their loyalty to President Bola Tinubu and the party during a meeting with him. Malam Yusuf Dingyadi, Senior Special Assistant on Media to the APC National Chairman, welcomed the lawmakers' return, emphasizing its importance for party unity and internal cooperation ahead of the upcoming elections.
