PDP gov candidate on mission to rescue Zamfara

The governorship candidate Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State, Dr Dauda Lawal-Dare, in a media interaction in Gusau. Made it clear that his mission is to rescue the Zamfara State from the prevailing “pathetic situation”.

Lawal-Dare decried that Zamfara had been in the news for the wrong reasons in the last 10 years.

He noted that the bad state of education and economic sectors have degenerated into security crises, youths unemployment and poor physical development in the state.

The PDP candidate declared: “These challenges need committed and visionary leaders like me, to tackle them.

“Lots of energy and resources must be channeled to these sectors to address the challenges.”

Lawal-Dare promised residents of Zamfara State that he would address the worsening security situation, reduce poverty level and tackle other challenges if he becomes governor in 2023.

He said that the PDP is united and had formed a formidable force to face the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2023.

The candidate urged voters to trust him with their votes to enable him rescue Zamfara and rebuild it into a state they would be proud of.

“The best thing to do for the people of Zamfara today is to restore peace, secure farms and provide businesses to men, women and the youth,” he said.

Lawal-Dare berated the state government for masterminding the attack on PDP members and supporters during the presidential campaign in Zamfara under the pretense  that the PDP violated the state government Executive Order 10 that banned campaign rallies and public gatherings, saying that the PDP did not violate any law. He asserted that the PDP is a law-abiding entity that will always play by the rules.

Lawal-Dare, inaugurating his campaign council and receiving new members who defected from other political parties, declared:  “I inaugurated my campaign council after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) gave Governorship candidates the nod to commence campaigns.
