WATCH THE VIDEO HERE THE state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on the Federal government to declare a state of emergency to allow the fight against banditry to succeed. In a statement signed by the spokesperson of the party Yusuf Idris, the APC alleged that Governor Dauda Lawal has been sabotaging the efforts of the Federal government in the fight against banditry in the state because he did not want his predecessor, Bello Mattawalle to succeed. The party alleged that Governor Lawal is all out to ensure that the ongoing onslaught against bandits which started yielding positive results did not succeed for political reasons. The statement reads; “The current onslaught on bandits/terrorists in Zamfara State by the military in the northwestern states under the coordination/supervision of the Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Mohammed Matawalle on the instructions and directives of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu certainly, is yielding unpredictable unprecedented results”. “Bandits’ leaders and their gangs who hitherto thought they were powerful as they laid siege on the region have been subdued by the current development”.
