Governor Dauda Lawal will host his counterparts in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for a strategic meeting in Zamfara State, with governors expected to arrive in Gusau this evening ahead of Saturday’s closed-door session.
In a statement, Lawal’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Idris, said the PDP Governors Forum will use the meeting to deliberate on pressing political issues, strengthen party unity, and explore developmental collaboration across their states.
