Supreme Court victory: I’ve taken action to liberate Zamfara from poor governance – Gov Lawal

Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal has called on the opposition to join his rescue mission for the state, saying he has taken  a swift action to liberate the state from the shackles of poor governance.

On Friday, the apex court set aside the decision of the Court of Appeal, Abuja, which declared the Zamfara Governorship Election inconclusive.

In a statement released by his spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, Lawal described the court’s decision as a “victory for the people of Zamfara” and a reaffirmation of their choice in last year’s elections.

According to him, working together is critical to achieving sustainable state development.

He said, “The success of our collective efforts depends on the active collaboration of all stakeholders. Let’s prioritise collaboration and work towards a better future for our state.
