“There is no opposition in Zamfara state. Can you fight a war without a commander? No. The opposition in Zamfara now has no commander. Therefore, the war in Zamfara has been won.”
While urging Governor Matawalle to allow the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Dauda Lawal, who he described as a friend and brother to return to APC, he said the PDP in the state has since realised that there is no vacancy in Government House, Gusau.
His words:
“As Muslims, our religion teaches us that we should love our brothers how we love ourselves. This is why I'm calling on the state governor to give our brother a chance (PDP governorship candidate, Dauda Lawal) to return home.
