My people, abeg make we gist about wetin dey happen for Zamfara State as 2027 elections dey approach. E be like say APC and PDP dem don scatter sha, and this one fit open door for smaller parties to shine. Wetin happen wey make dem dey clash be say, na internal wahala wey dey affect their chances.
For Zamfara, we get more than 10 political warriors wey don come out to contest for that guber position. We fit talk say, before, na the party power wey dey determine who go win, but now, e go different matter. Dem dey face plenty wahala, and we dey see signs say this time, the major parties fit lose out.
Many analysts dey talk say, if PDP and APC no manage their internal issues well, e fit be smaller party go carry dat governorship crown. Governor Dauda Lawal wey dey run for second term don dey face serious wahala for him party, PDP. Dem dey drag am like say him get something wey dem want collect.
People dey even dey speculate say, Lawal fit jump enter APC but dem say na political suicide based on wetin dey happen for APC too. Dem dey divide into four strong factions wey each of dem dey claim na dem be correct faction. E no go too easy for am if he decide to jump ship.
Lawal fit just look to pick one of the smaller parties, use him incumbency to claim victory, like wetin don happen for some states before. If by chance e enter APC and dem nominate am, some people fit saboti am from inside. You know as dem dey vex for PDP wahala wey carry dem for ground before.
Matawalle dey also chop head dey eye that guber position again, but him no sabi say even him APC people dey vex for him. It be like say people for APC no wan hear am say him go come back join dem again, because dem believe say him don fail for him promise to fight bandits.
Another person wey dey on top, be Zannan Bungudu wey dey shine like star. Na him dey young but him don catch attention and dem dey talk say he dey enjoy support from Yari. But, wahala dey too, because he no dey with Matawalle own faction, so if APC chooses am, haba, you no fit predict the kind protest votes wey go land on top am!
Come see Kabiru Marafa wey don run from APC to ADC now, him dey plan how to take fit enter that governorship race too. But e no go easy for am because ADC self get own wahala for their ranks. Some people dey fear say if dem no gree am, him fit carry matter go court!
Governor Lawal Senior Special Assistant on Media talk say Lawal no fit drop PDP, even if na only him go remain. PDP Publicity Secretary dey back am talk say him na tested politician wey go fit win any race wey he enter. As dem dey talk am, Ole! No be easy to move from one party to another for Nigeria, tactical no go fit reach, if you ask me.
Some political analysts don draw attention back to two past governors wey change party and run into problem. They lose the elections wey dem no expect. Dey say as law of politics be, e no dey sweet when person jump come out from the party wey carry dem go power. Na so dem dey warn Lawal make he no try am, abeg.
As the clock dey tick for the political season, let’s keep our eyes on Zamfara. Many things fit change overnight, but for now, e no clear who go finally shine for that governorship seat come 2027!
