2023: I’ll make Zamfara crime-free state -Matawalle

From Ibrahim Sidi Muh’d, Gusau

Zamfara State Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle has pledged to make Zamfara crime-free State if re-elected.

Matawalle made the assurance Thursday, at a central zone gubernatorial rally campaign held in Bungudu local government area of the state.

He said the number one priority of his administration was on the fights against lingering security challenges.

He further noted that, it is obvious that normalcy is fast returning to the state as the state and federal governments collaborate with security agencies to ensure all criminals terrorising the peace of the state are eliminated.

“I am assuring you of absolute peace and tranquility across the fourteen local government areas of the state, formidable plans were already on security Chiefs’ table making deliberations to come up with measures capable of creating access to bushes and nearby forests for food production by our competent farmers.

“Despite security challenges, my administration was able to boost many sectors especially health sector, and the provisions of employment for hundreds of youths, though, one should not expect smooth execution of developmental projects by any government that frequently receive unbearable attacks by the high profile criminals like bandits, kidnappers and cattle rustlers.

“My administration was compelled to redirect its needed attention despite meagre resources towards total fight against security challenges which had yielded positive results as we are currently witnessing massive return of displaced communities in the state”, Matawalle has stressed.
