NDC Criticizes Governor Dauda Lawal for Abandoning Victims

The National Democratic Congress (NDC), Zamfara State chapter, condemned a recent bandits' attack on the Bindin community, which resulted in the deaths of villagers and security personnel. In a statement issued on Wednesday by Publicity Secretary Kassim Almustafa Kayatawa, the NDC expressed deep condolences to the victims' families and the Bindin community in Maru Local Government Area.

The statement highlighted the immeasurable destruction of property and the profound grief of the community. The NDC criticized Governor Dauda Lawal for being absent during this critical time, as he attended a Federal Government delegation for a Nigeria-Ethiopia leadership exchange on nutrition policy in Addis Ababa.

The party described his absence as insensitive and a betrayal of public trust, questioning his commitment to addressing banditry in the state. The NDC also condemned the Federal Government for allowing the Governor's participation in the delegation while the state faced ongoing security threats, urging the international community to recognize the deteriorating security situation in Zamfara State.
