Former Katsina State governorship aspirant on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Lawal Musa Daura, has revealed why he left the party saying injustice and lack of stable leadership prompted him to quit the ADC for the Allied People’s Movement (APM). While giving reasons for his decision, the former Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS) faulted reports that he defected because he was not given the ADC governorship ticket. He said he had left the ADC several months ago, explaining that his prolonged silence was not due to fear but was part of efforts to carefully plan his political future, as well as his realignment, to avoid making another mistake. He explained that his decision to join politics was driven by the desire to contribute to rescuing Nigeria from insecurity, poor leadership and economic challenges. “I joined politics not to achieve personal ambition, but because of my concern for the country and its people. I want to change people’s belief that lies, dishonesty and deception are part of politics,” he said. Daura described the APM as a winning party and called on Nigerians to support and vote for the party in the 2027 general elections, saying it is currently free of crisis. Although Daura did not reveal the position he is vying for when asked, he said he is willing to contribute to making Nigeria a great nation, irrespective of whether he held a political position or not. He added that he had ventured into politics to contribute to the development of the country and would not back out.
