Vice President Kashim Shettima is scheduled to visit Gusau, the capital of Zamfara State, to welcome Governor Dauda Lawal into the All Progressives Congress (APC). The announcement was made by the state APC Chairman, Tukur Maikatako, during a recent meeting with party stakeholders. Shettima's visit signifies a strong message of unity and political inclusion as the APC aims to consolidate its influence in Zamfara.

Maikatako emphasized the importance of this event, highlighting that Governor Lawal's return to the APC is a crucial step towards reinforcing party unity and strength ahead of the 2027 elections. He articulated the party's goal of overcoming internal divisions and ensuring that all its members work collaboratively for the progress of both the state and Nigeria at large. The welcome event is seen as an essential opportunity for mutual commitment among party members and illustrates the APC's broader objectives.

Additionally, the chairperson conveyed optimism regarding the APC's capacity to enhance its political standing and performance. The emphasis on unity within the party is a strategic move, as fragmentation can often undermine political efficacy. With various factions potentially hindering party unity, Maikatako's call for collective efforts will be crucial in navigating the political landscape in Zamfara and ensuring a strong showing in the upcoming elections.
