The reason that the national working committee gave us this important responsibility in Zamfara state is that they know that we have the capacity, wisdom, and wealth of experience to deliver based on the law guiding the affairs of the party.

We are assuring every aspirant of our great party that we will administer justice to all through the policy of fairness, sincerity, and accountability.
