The Arewa Youths Consultative Forum (AYCF) has called for Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal’s immediate resignation due to alleged links to terror groups.
Governor Lawal’s recent demands for Minister of State for Defence Bello Mohammed Matawalle’s resignation are misguided, according to AYCF President General Yerima Shettima.
A leaked document reveals Governor Lawal’s connections to notorious bandit leaders and requests One Billion, Three Hundred and Seventy-Eight Million Naira for a dubious reconciliation programme.
The AYCF views Governor Lawal’s actions as a diversion from his alleged complicity with terror groups, exacerbated by his aide’s arrest for gun running and international criminal conspiracy.
Minister Matawalle’s efforts have yielded tangible results in combating banditry.
The forum demands Governor Lawal’s resignation, citing his tenure’s dangerous governance-criminality overlap.
If he refuses, the AYCF advocates for a Zamfara State emergency declaration, involving Governor Lawal’s removal and replacement with a military sole administrator.
The people of Zamfara deserve governance prioritizing safety and well-being.
The AYCF urges authorities to investigate Governor Lawal’s alleged ties to terror groups.
AYCF’s call for Governor Lawal’s resignation marks a significant development in the region’s ongoing security crisis.
The forum’s stance reflects growing concerns about governance and security in Zamfara State.
Governor Lawal’s resignation is crucial for restoring order.
The AYCF remains committed to promoting good governance and security.
The people of Zamfara await decisive action.
