Governor Dauda Lawal has restated that the people of Zamfara State have bestowed their trust in his administration and he was therefore not afraid of a rerun election.
Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity) to the Zamfara Governor, Sulaimon Bala Idris said this on Tuesday, days after the Court of Appeal voided Lawal’s election and declared the March 18 gubernatorial election in the state inconclusive.
The court also ordered a rerun election.
Idris stated that the governor, who returned on Monday from an official foreign trip, was greeted by an unprecedented crowd of supporters in an electrifying atmosphere upon his arrival in Gusau.
He said the massive crowd that received the governor was a testament to the high level of trust in his administration.
According to him, Governor Lawal’s government garnered immense support from the people of Zamfara, who displayed their affection as a show of solidarity.
“Yesterday, while returning to Zamfara from an official trip in Abidjan, Governor Dauda Lawal was received by an unprecedented crowd of people.
“Governor Lawal’s convoy was welcomed by a massive crowd from the Tsafe Local Government Area to Gusau, the state capital.
“In his remark at the State secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Governor Lawal reiterated that the people of Zamfara have placed their trust in his leadership. He vowed to work tirelessly to honour that confidence.
“We are not afraid of a re-run. The people of Zamfara have entrusted us with their votes. We are prepared and optimistic; even if the election occurs tomorrow, we are ready to go to Maradun Local Government.
“We are fully committed to our rescue mission, and no obstacle can impede our determination and focus,” the statement read.
