has petitioned the Inspector General of Police Usman Alkali Baba over unlawful ban of political campaigns and the use of state apparatus by Zamfara State Government to attack and harass members of the party.
Sir, it is with a heart full of trepidation and responsibility that the Zamfara State chapter of the Peoples’ Democratic Party brings to your notice a potentially explosive situation in Zamfara State. A day to the event, on Friday 14 October 2022, our governorship candidate in the 2023 election, Dr. Dauda Lawal was attacked on his way to Gusau, by thugs sponsored by the All Progressives Congress and the State Governor. We have supporting evidence of the attack, including videos of how our vehicles were smashed and burnt by the miscreants.
It is deplorable how the Chief Security Officer to the Zamfara State Governor, CSP Ibrahim N. Angbasa has abandoned his primary responsibilities and turned himself into the neutralizer of any threats against the Governor’s second term ambition. This includes arbitrary prosecution of opposition elements on phantom charges, arrest of social critics, and threats to the freedom, safety, and even life of anyone who opposes the return of the Governor.
Governor Matawalle’s Executive Order No. 10, 2022 is null and void because it contradicts the Nigerian Constitution and the Electoral Act as amended; especially Section 94 of the Electoral Act 2022.
