Tuesday, August 5, 2025 - The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has called on Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, to resign if he cannot address the worsening insecurity in the state.
Chairman of the party in the state, Alhaji Kabiru Garba,
made the statement on Monday during the ADC “Hand Shake Day” held at Maryam
Hall in Gusau, the state capital.
Garba expressed deep concern over the persistent bandit
attacks across Zamfara, saying Governor Lawal has failed to protect lives and
property.
“It is high time the Governor provided a lasting solution to
the insecurity bedeviling the state. Otherwise, he should resign,” he said.
The ADC chairman also urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to
wake up to his responsibility and address the deteriorating security situation
in Zamfara and other parts of the country.
He advised the state government to consider negotiating with
bandits as a means to restore peace.
“We condemn the incessant attacks on our people and urge the
government to take decisive steps. Let them talk to the bandits if that’s what
will bring peace,” he added.
Garba, however, said residents were losing hope in the
current administration and now turning to ADC for a new direction.
He disclosed that the party had registered over 75,000 new
members in Zamfara alone, with expectations to hit 100,000 before the 2027
general elections.
“We have registered no fewer than 75,000 new members. The
people of Zamfara have seen a brighter future in ADC.
“God willing, we are ready to rescue the state and Nigeria at large come 2027,” he stated.
