Zamfara PDP slams APC over Gov. Lawal’s trip to Dansadau

 The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State has rejected what it described as false and misleading claims by the All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding Governor Dauda Lawal’s recent visit to the Dansadau Emirate in Maru Local Government Area.In a statement signed by Halliru Andi, PDP Publicity Secretary, on Friday, the PDP said it read the APC’s press release with utter dismay.They accused the ruling party of spreading fiction about the governor’s trip.According to the PDP, Governor Lawal received a warm and historic welcome from the Emir of Dansadau, the Emirate Council, and local residents.The party said people from communities along the 107-kilometre Gusau-Dansadau road came out in large numbers to welcome the governor, making the journey take several hours.“The conferment of the traditional title ‘Garkuwan Dansadau’ on Governor Dauda Lawal clearly shows the respect, love and acceptance he enjoys among the people,” the PDP stated.The party also said Dansadau had been ignored for almost 10 years under APC-led governments.PDP noted that no sitting governor visited the area during that period.It said Governor Lawal ended this neglect by visiting the community to listen to residents’ concerns and to flag off the Gusau-Magami-Dansadau road project.The PDP explained that the road project would help improve security, boost economic activities, and make it easier for farmers to transport their produce.The party added that most residents of the area are farmers who had suffered neglect in the past.On the reported incident involving the lawmaker representing Maru South, Hon. Kabiru Mikailu Dangulbi, the PDP condemned the development and blamed desperate APC element  for allegedly trying to embarrass the lawmaker and damage the governor’s image.“The matter has been reported to the appropriate security agencies, and investigations are ongoing,” the statement said.It added that the APC should allow the law to take its course.
