The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has denied receiving a defection letter from Governor Dauda Lawal allegedly seeking to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.
The state APC Publicity Secretary, Malam Yusuf Idris, who denied the speculations in a statement on Saturday in Gusau, the state capital, said the stories were false and fabricated.
Idris described the report as malicious, unfortunate, unfounded and mischievous, and that it was planted to sow seeds of discord in the APC in the state.
“The party came across a fabricated report purported to have emanated from one Tambarin Gusau claiming that Gov. Dauda Lawal has sent a letter to the party wanting to join the APC,” Idris said.
“The report is malicious, unfortunate, unfounded, mischievous and showed the unprofessional manner which some people can go in misleading others and causing chaos in a stable and a peaceful party like the APC.
“The APC has responsible channels where everything is done in a guided manner,” Idris said.
He insisted that the party has not received any letter from Lawal as claimed through the imagination of the writer nor was the party aware of any recent moves by the governor to defect from the PDP to the APC.
“All members of the party and indeed the public especially in Zamfara should therefore disregard such report,” Idris added.
