Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, has declared that he is not intimidated by any political forces ahead of the 2027 general election, insisting that his administration\u2019s performance gives him the confidence to stand firm.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today on Wednesday, Lawal responded to growing speculation about his potential defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) amidst internal crises in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).<\/p>\n

Dismissing the rumours, he said, \u201cThe truth of the matter is, when I contested in 2023, all these forces were there\u2026 Sani Yerima, Mahmud Shinkafi, Abdul\u2019aziz Yari, Bello Matawalle \u2014 they were all in APC, yet I still won.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lawal emphasized that he had already faced and defeated the strongest political figures in Zamfara under more intense conditions, making 2027 less daunting in comparison.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what has changed from 2023 to 2027 that you think I will have any doubt or fear of these people? Absolutely no fear as far as that is concerned,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also stressed that he is not a desperate politician but a man of principle. \u201cI am not scared of anybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod has given me this position, and based on what we are doing, delivering the good aspect of democracy, I think there is no reason for me to fear anybody. It is only God that I fear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Governor Lawal added, \u201cI believe in what I am doing. And for now, in Zamfara State, based on what we are doing, I do not think there is anything to be scared of as far as any forces are concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n

His comments signal a strong resolve to remain within the PDP while dismissing fears of external political pressure.<\/p>\n
