The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Zamfara State, Dr. Dauda Lawal has denied rumors that he is defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of 2023 elections.
This was disclosed in a statement by his media office on Saturday.
The statement read,
“To our dear supporters and party members of Zamfara State, do not listen to any rumor purporting that Dr. Dauda Lawal is making plans to defect to the APC.
“This is an absolute fallacy and could only have happened in the imagination of the rumor peddler.
“Peddling rumor of Dauda Lawal’s defection is a sign that the ruling APC in Zamfara State is already jittery, having seen the massive acceptance of Lawal and the PDP across the length and breadth of Zamfara State.
“We call on the good people of Zamfara to ignore any rumor claiming that our candidate has perfected plans to defect to any party or that he is no longer in the race.
“Dauda is very much in the race, and he is winning, by the special grace of Allah and the support of the good people of Zamfara State.”
