Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, consolidating his place in the All Progressives Congress, APC, after his defection from the Peoples De Democratic Party, PDP, visited the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo SAN.

Keyamo, receiving Lawal on the courtesy visit, highlighted:

"Before, I wholeheartedly welcome my brother and my bosom friend, Gov. of Zamfara State, H.E Dauda Lawal to the APC family, let me tell a short story he may not be in a position to say himself:

"In the run-up to the 2019 elections, Dauda Lawal was in the APC and we (his friends) did ‘EVERYTHING POSSIBLE’ to just secure the ticket for him to run as our candidate for the position of Governor of Zamfara State on the platform of the APC. He was cruelly denied that ticket and unjustly persecuted by rivals. We also rallied behind him to stop those persecutions. His rivals then fought themselves to stupor and we lost all our seats in Zamfara.

"In 2023, he then quietly left to the PDP, secured the ticket and resoundingly won the gubernatorial election.

"Today, he makes a triumphal return to the progressive family AS A SITTING GOVERNOR and leader of the Party in Zamfara State.

"Destiny can be delayed, but not denied.

"Welcome back home H.E, Governor Dauda Lawal."
