Zamfara Lawmakers Exit APC Over Security Concerns
Nine suspended members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly have defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) due to alleged insecurity and a lack of concern for the welfare of the people. The lawmakers include Hon. Aliyu Ango Kagara, Hon. Muktar Nasir, Hon. Faruk Dosara Musa, Hon. Basiru Bello, Hon. Bashir A.
Masama, Hon. Ibrahim T. Tukur, Hon. Nasiru Abdullahi, Hon. Yusuf Muhammad Anka, and Rt.
Hon. Bashar Aliyu. Hon. Kagara stated that their disagreements with Governor Dauda Lawal were linked to the worsening security situation in Zamfara.
He mentioned that their attempts to address these concerns in the House were poorly received by the executive, leading to their suspension. Kagara also alleged that after joining the APC, some party leaders conspired against them and denied them a fair hearing, prompting their decision to leave the party.
The spokesman for the Zamfara State Governor, Suleiman Bala Idris, did not respond to inquiries regarding the situation.
