Zamfara State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has called for voluntary resignation of Governor Dauda Lawal and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over their inability to successfully tackle the lingering the menace of banditry and politicking with the lives of armless civilians in Zamfara state and entire Nigeria amidst increasing threats of insecurity.
This was stated by the Zamfara State Chairman of the ADC, Comrade Kabiru Garba Gusau during the party’s stakeholders meeting on Monday, focusing on issues of security challenges and total economic collapse in Gusau the state capital.
Comrade Gusau, said the Constitutional aims of forming any government is to ensure total protection of lives and property, as well as security to the state economic for the citizens to live in peace, harmony and to enjoy better life as enshrined by laws of the nation.
He lamented the recently intensified attacks by bandits on innocent communities whose expectations were to live in the exercises of their constitutional rights which included free movement, education, health and food productions on their farms, but were helplessly left in the hands of high profile criminals who mercilessly kill and rape them at their will instead.
“As I am speaking to you right now, an escaped villager called to tell me that, the armed bandits launched an attack on their village and were shooting sporadically while looking for slight opportunity to unfortunately abduct the unlucky ones in the community.
“For this reasons therefore, the ADC could not fold it’s arms to continue watching good people of Zamfara being jeopardized by various groups of terrorists who slaughter and bury their victims even alive to death on daily basis.
“We are not comfortable losing our brothers and sisters in the dirty hands of bandits, the lives of our beloved people is paramount and most integral to the main purpose of forming the ADC as political party which only came to salvage the state and entire nation from the hands of incapacitated politicians”.
“The ADC is the only party formed to deliver the state and the country, that is why, defectors in their large numbers in Zamfara State are trooping into the party on daily basis, so far, we have witnessed the receipt of 75,000 defectors from various political parties”, Comrade Gusau has revealed.
According to him, the ADC found it compulsory to issue 100,000 more membership cards as many more politicians had already communicated their interest to join the party soon.
