Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, is set to host fellow governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Gusau this weekend for a strategic meeting aimed at strengthening party unity and preparing for the forthcoming national convention.
According to a statement issued on Friday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, the PDP governors are expected to arrive in Gusau on Friday evening ahead of the closed-door session scheduled for Saturday.
In the statement, Idris said: “Governor Dauda Lawal extends a warm welcome to his counterparts, the governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State. The governors are convening today for an important meeting of the PDP Governors Forum. Governor Lawal will host a dinner for the governors tonight, before the closed-door meeting scheduled for tomorrow.”
The statement added that the Gusau meeting would provide a platform for party leaders to deliberate on pressing issues, foster internal cohesion, and plan for collaborative development initiatives across their states.
“This meeting will provide party leaders with the opportunity to discuss pressing political issues, plan for party unity, and collaborate on developmental initiatives within their respective states. Additionally, the governors will address key concerns in preparation for the national convention organized by the National Executive Committee (NEC) in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2025,” Idris noted.
The Zamfara gathering comes at a time when the PDP is seeking to strengthen its internal structures and build consensus ahead of the November national convention in Ibadan.
