The France Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has welcomed the Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal, into the ruling party, describing his defection as a major political shift that strengthens the expanding coalition supporting President Bola Tinubu.
In a statement released in Paris and signed by the Chairperson of the APC France Chapter, Amina Suzuki, the group said the governor’s decision to join the APC demonstrates increasing confidence among political leaders and citizens in the reform-focused leadership of President Tinubu.
Suzuki noted that Lawal’s move represents a significant consolidation of political support in the North-West geopolitical zone, a region widely regarded as critical in determining outcomes in Nigeria’s presidential elections.
“The North-West remains one of the most influential voting blocs in Nigeria’s democratic process. With this significant political realignment in Zamfara, it is increasingly evident that President Tinubu’s leadership and policies are gaining widespread acceptance across the region,” the statement read..
The chapter added that the governor’s entry into the APC goes beyond an individual political choice, describing it as a broader endorsement of the Renewed Hope agenda being advanced by the Tinubu administration.
According to the statement, the development further strengthens the party’s political structure ahead of future elections, noting that the growing wave of support across the North-West places the president in a strong position for a successful re-election campaign.
“As members of the APC in the diaspora, we see this development as a clear indication that the North-West is rallying behind President Tinubu. The people of the region understand the importance of stability, economic reforms, and national unity being pursued by this administration,” Suzuki said.
The APC France Chapter also disclosed that Governor Lawal would be honoured as its Patron Designate in recognition of his leadership and his decision to join the progressive fold.
It further assured that members of the diaspora would continue to mobilise support, promote the achievements of the Tinubu administration globally, and collaborate with stakeholders across Nigeria to strengthen democratic progress.
Suzuki concluded by urging political leaders and citizens across the country to continue supporting the APC-led government in order to sustain ongoing reforms, enhance national security and advance Nigeria’s economic recovery..
