Northern APC Peace Agenda Backs Lawal, Matawalle Unity
The Northern APC Peace Agenda issued a statement on Wednesday, praising Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal and his predecessor Bello Matawalle for their political reconciliation, which is viewed as a significant step towards stabilizing the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state ahead of the 2027 elections. Alhaji Rabiu Ahmad, the group's president, highlighted Matawalle's decision to forgo his governorship ambitions and support Lawal as a demonstration of political maturity and commitment to unity within the party.
The reconciliation is expected to reshape Zamfara's political dynamics, especially as Lawal transitions from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) back to the APC. The statement noted that this collaboration sends a powerful message of unity and prioritizes the state's interests over personal ambitions.
The development was welcomed by top APC figures, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, and is seen as a pragmatic move to enhance policy coordination and access to federal support.
