Zamfara PDP Government Exposes Failure In First 100 Days :- Says APC

By Aminu Abdullahi  Gusau

The Zamfara State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress APC, says, the one hundred days of the present administration of governor Dauda Lawal was a total failure especially in the area of security.

The APC Publicity Secretary Zamfara State, Yusuf Idris Gusau disclosed in a statement issued to newsmen in Gusau the state capital.

According to the statement, the Governor has certainly recorded a world record of killings and kidnappings and other crimes like no government ever witnessed in the state.

It stated that, in Zamfara state today, more people are displaced, lives and livelihoods destroyed including people in the state capital, Gusau as verifiable in Damba, Mareri, Tsauni and Saminaka areas of the state.

Yusuf Idris who is commenting on the recent press briefing conducted by the Information commissioner of the State Mannir Muazu Haidara did by telling the world of how the government has obstructed movement for weeks via its snail speed road project being executed by friends of the governor.

The APC Publicity Secretary further explained that, Dauda's refusal to rise to the challenge posed by insecurity but busies himself with resultless visits to Abuja as against how his predecessor, Bello Matawalle's invitation of the security chiefs to come over, see the gravity of the situation for themselves and take immediate action.

According to him, Matawalle's initiative led to the decimation of banditry in the state opening Kaura- Zurmi-Gidan Jaja- Gurbin Bore, Kaura-Moriki- Shinkafi, Mafara-Birnin Tudu-Rini- Faru-Boko, Gusau-Magami-Dansadau Kotorkoshi-Mada-Wonaka- as well as Gusau- Funtua roads among others.

Again, Matawalle involved all critical stakeholders to discuss and find workable ways of fighting criminality but the present governor who has made himself a wisenheimer arrogantly refuses to sit and discuss this for the sake of the people and the state.

Presently, ministries including that of information, are not given their constitutional responsibilities because everything is decided by the governor and his select few people not directly linked to state mechanism or not even indigenes but governor's friends brought in to cut their own for being his fellas.

Even the ministry of Finance and its commissioner only wait for directives from the governor's friend, who is the special adviser finance or de-facfor governor of Zamfara for implementation.

Yusuf added that, Matawalle installed CCTV cameras during his time to monitor movement and check crimes which were destroyed by PDP thugs while celebrating Dauda's election victory.

The return of Matawalle as Honourable Minister of Defence has already started addressing the security challenges in the state as soldiers are now located in strategic places that were usually the bandits' routes throughout the state and beyond with travellers now moving safely and unhindered.

The effort was put in place by the President Tinubu led administration through the Ministry of Defence to deploy soldiers in all bandit routes starting from Abuja to kaduna, up to Gusau to Sokoto and all other affected areas but Zamfara State government trying to claim the credit without thinking of the other states.
