A group, Arewa Youth for Peace and Security, has slammed the Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal, accusing him of abandoning security in the state.
This is following a recent report on social media alleging that the Minister of Defence for State and immediate past governor of the State, Bello Matawalle 'distributed foodstuffs' to the Ado Aliero-led bandits terrorizing Zamfara. The group accused Lawal of exaggerating insecurity during Matawalle's administration to receive cheap publicity and popularity that propelled him to government and has now abandoned his promises to the people.
'It is unfortunate that Governor Lawal who used insecurity in Zamfara State as propaganda to mislead the people during his campaign that he would restore security within his 100 days in office has now abandoned the people to their fate while he junkets across the globe leaving his constitutional duties of providing security and delivery of democracy dividends to citizens.
