Zamfara Lawmakers Defect from PDP to APC Citing Governance Issues

Six members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly have defected from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) due to deep internal crises within the PDP and dissatisfaction with the state's governance. The lawmakers, including Bashar Aliyu Gummi and Nasiru Abdullahi Maru, accused Governor Dauda Lawal of poor leadership, failure to address security challenges, and unfulfilled campaign promises.
They invoked constitutional provisions allowing defection based on factional leadership within a party. The defection highlights political instability in Zamfara State.
