The Arewa All Progressives Congress (APC) Vanguard has strongly condemned the actions of Zamfara State’s Governor, Dauda Lawal, who publicly called for the resignation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu amidst allegations of certificate forgery currently before the Supreme Court.

The group therefore criticized the governor, insisting it is contempt of court and that his call is malicious, provocative and destructive.

This stance was conveyed through a press statement by the group’s chairman, Jonathan Audu, made available in Gusau.

They believe that President Tinubu, being democratically elected by the Nigerian people, should be allowed to continue the implementation of his policies aimed at enhancing the living standards of the common citizens.

The group emphasized that the governor’s actions were a clear reflection of his affiliation with the previous administration’s interests, describing him as a puppet executing their agenda to distract the President “from his commendable work”.

In the statement, Audu expressed the need for Governor Lawal to prioritize fulfilling his campaign promises to the displaced population of Zamfara State. 

The statement cited on-going security challenges in the state, including the persistent threats posed by bandits, which have led to a daily ordeal of killings, abductions, and sexual assaults. 

The group implored the governor to focus on delivering effective governance and urgently addressing the security challenges rather than engaging in divisive actions that may further worsen the situation.

The APC Vanguard called to the people of Zamfara State to remain resilient and offer their prayers.
