flag Six Zamfara lawmakers, suspended by PDP, defect to APC over constitutional violations and governance failures.

flag Six suspended lawmakers from the Zamfara State House of Assembly, originally elected under the PDP, have defected to the APC, citing constitutional violations, poor governance, and the legislature’s loss of independence under Governor Dauda Lawal. flag The lawmakers, including Bashar Aliyu Gummi and others, claim their suspension was unlawful and that the assembly has operated without a valid quorum, rendering its actions invalid. flag They submitted individual defection letters, citing Section 109(1)(g) of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution, and stated their move aligns with the APC’s principles of justice and inclusiveness. flag The defection strengthens the APC’s position in the state legislature and reflects broader political realignments amid ongoing PDP instability.
