By Muhammad A. Abubakar 

Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has reaffirmed his unfluctuating loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), dismissing recent speculations about his defection as baseless and politically motivated.

In a statement released via his official Facebook page on Sunday, Governor Lawal described himself as a “bona fide member” of the PDP and urged the public to disregard what he termed as “fake news from detractors.”

“I am Dauda Lawal, a bona fide member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),” he wrote. “Disregard the fake news from detractors determined to distract us from the RESCUE MISSION we have embarked on.”

The post was accompanied by a video of the governor seated in what appeared to be his official office, with the Nigerian flag prominently displayed behind him.

Governor Lawal’s remarks come amid growing rumors on social media suggesting his possible defection to APC. His clarification is seen as a strong signal to his supporters and party faithful that he remains committed to the PDP and the vision he set forth for Zamfara State.

The governor has consistently positioned his administration as one focused on reform and recovery, often referring to his governance agenda as a “rescue mission” aimed at addressing insecurity, improving infrastructure, and restoring public trust.

The PDP leadership in Zamfara State has yet to issue an official comment on the development, but insiders say the governor's statement has been welcomed as a timely reassurance.
