Shinkafi: Zamfara gov not delivering on his campaign promises
Shinkafi alleged that the Zamfara governor neglected his constitutional responsibilities and failed to deliver on promises made to the people of Zamfara State, as reported by Vanguard.
He said:
"The election phase has ended. Now is the time for effective governance. Governor Lawal should focus on managing his administration and enhancing the welfare of the people.
"For a whole year, Governor Lawal has been blaming others for his failure to fulfill his constitutional responsibilities and deliver on the promises of development he made to the people of Zamfara State."
As Zamfara state braces for upcoming security meetings to tackle the ongoing crisis exacerbated by bandit attacks and kidnappings, Shinkafi stressed the urgency of ending the blame game and focusing on effective solutions.
He stated:
"Blaming others cannot solve the challenges of armed banditry and governance deficiencies in Zamfara State. Addressing banditry, kidnapping, cattle rustling requires a comprehensive approach and collective effort to overcome.
"Lawal should demonstrate leadership as a governor, not as a political candidate. It is crucial to forge a strong, unified, progressive, prosperous, fair, and just democratic society."
