ADC To Tinubu: Declare State Of Emergency In Katsina, Zamfara

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in Katsina and Zamfara following the massacre in Malumfashi, Katsina State, where dozens of worshippers and villagers were brutally killed. The party criticized the current security architecture in Nigeria, linking the killings to a broader wave of terror in the two states, claiming 140 lives in two months.

The ADC condemned the insensitivity of PDP Governors holding a political meeting in Zamfara on the same day as the tragic slaughter in the state. The party urged immediate action to stem the bloodshed, restore order, and rethink the national security architecture.

The ADC emphasized the need for President Tinubu to prioritize the safety and security of Nigerians over diplomatic engagements abroad.
