The group citing the security situation of the state stated the breakdown of democratic order in Zamfara warrants the proclamation of a State of Emergency.
In as statement issued by the president of the coalition, Abdulrahman Danladi, UDC described the Northwest state as one under siege.
Danladi implicated the present government of the state as lacking the capacity to protect the lives and property of residents of the state.
He revealed that in Zamfara, armed groups freely operate by intimidate and assaulting residents at random while those voted to protect them watch in silence.
He stated, “What we are witnessing is not just lawlessness – it is executive tyranny. These lawmakers were voted by the people and have a duty to speak out. Instead of listening to them, the state assembly, clearly acting on orders, has shut them down.
“If Rivers with four lawmakers sparked talks of emergency basics, how is Zamfara with 10 suspended lawmakers and spiralling crisis not a national concern?” Danladi queried.
Urging the president to met out the same stint he handed to Rivers in Zamfara State, Danladi disclosed democracy has been murdered in the state.
“We are summoning for a six-month state of emergency in Zamfara to allow security forces take control, restore peace, and backtrack the state to constitutional order.”
“This is not the time for political correctness. It is the time for leadership. The people of Zamfara are under siege – both by bandits and by those who should be protecting them,” he disclosed.
