Lawmaker representing Abia North Senatorial District, Orji Uzor Kalu, has appealed to Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal to end his political differences with President Bola Tinubu for the interest of people of the state.
Kalu warned that residents of the northern state could lose out on major developments if the Governor Lawal failed to play political economics with the President.
The former Abia governor gave the advice on Monday when he commissioned the newly constructed Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development and renovated Zamfara College of Arts and Science both in Gusau, the Zamfara capital.

Senator Kalu, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress said that he was not advising the governor to dump Peoples Democratic Party, and join the APC but he should maintain a good relationship with Tinubu who is an APC power broker.

Kalu said: “The president is not only my brother; he is my friend. People thought we met when we were governors, no.
“My children used to live in his house. Mrs Tinubu brought those girls up because we were living in Abia but they schooled in Lagos. They lived in Marina, in the president’s house.
“Whatever my political differences with the President were, we have healed up and we are one. I want you to heal your political differences with the President.
“I know you are PDP. I am APC. The President is APC. Do PDP as a party but do economic development as a Zamfara man so Zamfara can develop.”
