The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lamented that it came across a fabricated report, purportedly emanating from Tambarin Gusau, claiming that Governor Dauda Lawal has sent a letter to the party seeking membership.

The party claimed that the report was malicious, unfortunate, unfounded, and a clear example of mischievous and unprofessional conduct, showing the extent to which some people can go in misleading others and causing chaos in a stable, peaceful party like the APC.

In a statement, the State APC publicity secretary, Mallam Yusuf Idris Gusau, said the party has responsible channels where everything is done in a guided manner.

“The party did not receive any letter from Governor Dauda Lawal, as claimed by the writer’s imagination, nor is the party aware of any recent moves by the governor to defect from the PDP to the APC,” he added.

“All members of the party and indeed the general public, especially in Zamfara State, should therefore disregard the report.”

He said that there is nothing to hide if Governor Lawal sent a letter of defection to the party in the state.

“The governor must meet all the requirements to become a bona fide member of the party,” the party said.

In other news, the Zamfara State Government is set to deliver the final phase of the total renovation, furnishing and equipping of JB Yakubu Secretariat Complex in February 2026.

The Secretary to the Zamfara State Government, Malam Abubakar Mohammad Nakwada, inspected the project consisting of Block C of the Complex, expressing satisfaction with the quality of the work.

The renovation undertaken by Sources Plus Nigeria Limited is now 100 per cent complete, with only furniture installation scheduled for completion within the coming weeks. During the inspection, the SSG expressed confidence in the timeline while urging the contractor to address some minor observations raised to ensure high-quality standards.

Recall that Governor Dauda Lawal has already commissioned the first and second phases of the project, consisting of Blocks A and B, which are now fully operational with solar power and Wi-fi connectivity, enhancing service delivery to the people of the State.

The 30-year-old JB Yakubu Secretariat complex had languished without any major renovations, despite hosting many Ministries, Departments and Agencies until recently.

Governor Dauda Lawal’s administration has prioritised the provision of modern office facilities for the state workforce, recognising that a conducive environment is essential for productivity and effective service delivery.
