Governor Dauda Lawal Bans Political Activities in Zamfara State.

In a decisive move to enhance security within the state, Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara has enacted an immediate ban on all political activities and rallies. This decision follows a recent security breach in the Maru Local Government Area, prompting concerns over the safety of citizens amid ongoing political tensions.

The announcement was made public through a statement released by Mustapha Jafaru Kaura, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Broadcast, Media, and Public Affairs. The statement emphasized that, given the current national context, the political season has yet to commence across the country, thereby justifying the preemptive measures taken by the state government.

Governor Lawal has also instructed security agencies in Zamfara to take stringent action against any political figures or groups that disregard this directive. This approach underscores the administration’s commitment to maintaining order and securing the well-being of its residents amidst rising concerns about public safety.

The implications of this ban will be closely monitored as the political landscape evolves in the region.
