The Zamfara State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections, Dr. Dauda Lawal, confirmed the attack, saying the thugs were sponsored by the state government to attack his supporters.
How Political Thugs Sponsored By APC, Governor Matawalle, Attacked, Injured PDP Members During Campaign, Burnt Vehicles In ZamfaraThe Zamfara State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 general elections, Dr. Dauda Lawal, confirmed the attack, saying the thugs were sponsored by the state government to attack his supporters.
Lawal in a statement issued by his media team stressed that he and his entourage were attacked by armed to-the-teeth thugs, last night while entering the Zamfara State capital, Gusau. “The Peoples’ Democratic Party has been known to be law-abiding; we are a party that strictly works and abides by the law of the state. That is the reason why we waited for the Independent National Electoral Commission to lift the ban on the governorship campaign before organising any politically related activity in Zamfara State.
“Today, the thugs led by one Aliyu Alhazai Shinkafi, the former chairman of the Zamfara Anti-thuggery committee and Commandant of the Zamfara Road Traffic Agency attacked the residence of PDP gubernatorial candidate. Alhazai led thugs barricaded the road leading to Lawal’s residence and venue, setting parameter for the attack. In the renewed unprovoked attack, our campaign buses were vandalised and looted.
