Zamfara Bye-Elections: Blame Gov Lawal’s Poor Performance for Your Loss– APC Youth Congress to PDP

Published

on

The APC Youth Congress has issued a scathing rebuke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Governor Dauda Lawal, attributing the party’s crushing defeat in the recent Kaura-Namoda South State Constituency bye-election to Lawal’s abysmal performance in office.

The group dismissed the PDP’s claims of electoral irregularities and misuse of armed forces as baseless excuses meant to deflect from the governor’s failure to deliver on his campaign promises.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Kamilu Sa’idu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) the winner of the bye-election, securing 8,182 votes against PDP candidate Muhammad Lawal Kurya’s 5,544.

The election, conducted in Sakajiki and Kyambarawa polling units, followed an inconclusive by-election due to a narrow vote margin.

In a statement, Comrade Gambo Danladi, spokesperson for the APC Youth Congress, described the PDP’s loss as a “referendum on Lawal’s incompetence.”

He accused the governor of failing to deliver on promises of development, security, and progress nearly three years into his tenure.

Danladi lambasted Lawal’s administration for plunging Zamfara into deeper insecurity and economic stagnation.

“The PDP’s loss is not the fault of the APC or the electoral system—it is the direct consequence of Lawal’s incompetence, broken promises, and betrayal of public trust,” Danladi said.

“Governor Dauda Lawal’s leadership has been nothing short of a disaster. His promises of rapid development, improved security, and economic revival have evaporated into thin air, leaving Zamfara grappling with rampant banditry, crumbling infrastructure, and widespread disillusionment.

“The electorate’s rejection of the PDP in this bye-election is a referendum on Lawal’s failure to address the state’s pressing challenges.

“His administration’s inability to deliver basic services or inspire confidence has eroded any goodwill he once enjoyed, exposing him as a leader utterly out of touch with the needs of his people. Zamfara deserves better than a governor who thrives on empty rhetoric and failed policies.

“The PDP’s claim of dominance in Zamfara is a myth. Their 2023 governorship win was built on falsehoods peddled by Dauda Lawal, who has failed to deliver even a fraction of what he promised.

“The people of Zamfara have seen through his lies and rejected him at the polls.”

The APC Youth Congress highlighted the bye-election results as evidence of the electorate’s frustration, noting that the PDP secured only six wards, marking a historic low for Lawal as the first Zamfara governor to lose a bye-election.

The statement also condemned Lawal’s alleged use of state-backed Zamfara Vigilante operatives to intimidate voters, defying federal warnings.

“These desperate tactics to manipulate the process were resoundingly rejected by the people, who delivered a decisive mandate to the APC,” Danladi said.

The APC Youth Congress called on Lawal to take responsibility for his administration’s failures and urged the PDP to stop making excuses.

“The people of Zamfara demand progress, not propaganda,” Danladi declared. “This victory belongs to the electorate, who have shown they will no longer tolerate Lawal’s ineptitude or the PDP’s politics of deception.”

The APC group congratulated Kamilu Sa’idu on his victory and reaffirmed its commitment to restoring hope and progress to Zamfara.

Renewed Hope Group Welcomes Tinubu’s Appointment of Faleke as Deputy Secretary for Party Outreach

Published

on

The Renewed Hope Advocacy Network (RHAN) has described the appointment of Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke as Deputy Secretary for Party Outreach, Engagement, and Mobilisation of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (South West zone) as a well-earned recognition of merit, loyalty, and proven capacity.

In a statement released today and signed by its Convener, Opialu M. Opialu, the grassroots organisation praised President Bola Tinubu for entrusting the strategic role to a man widely regarded as one of his most dependable and longest-serving political allies.

“Rt. Hon. James Faleke’s appointment is the logical elevation of a tested hand who has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, organisational brilliance, and rock-solid loyalty to President Tinubu and the Renewed Hope project,” Opialu stated.

The statement highlighted Faleke’s critical contribution during the 2023 presidential campaign, where he served as National Secretary of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.

Describing the lawmaker as the engine room coordinator of nationwide mobilisation efforts, the group credited him with bridging ethnic, regional, and ideological divides, galvanising party structures, and sustaining momentum even amid intense opposition.

“Despite daunting challenges, he never flinched. His strategic mind, tireless work ethic, and unshakeable belief in Asiwaju’s vision were decisive factors in delivering the Tinubu-Shettima victory,” the statement added.

RHAN also underscored Hon. Faleke’s legendary loyalty, noting that for over two decades he has remained a consistent pillar of support for President Tinubu across multiple political battles and campaigns.

“In an era when political fidelity is increasingly rare, Rt. Hon. Faleke stands out as a shining example of principle, sacrifice, and steadfastness.

“His faithfulness has inspired countless party members and remains one of the strongest proof to the enduring bond between him and our President,” Opialu remarked.

On the legislative front, the statement celebrated Faleke’s distinguished record as the representative of Ikeja Federal Constituency.

Looking ahead, RHAN expressed confidence that Faleke’s wealth of experience will now supercharge grassroots engagement, strengthen party structures in the South West, and deepen national support for the implementation of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

“We are convinced that this appointment will inject fresh energy into our mobilisation efforts and set the stage for even greater electoral and governance successes in the years ahead,” Opialu concluded.

The Renewed Hope Advocacy Network wished Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke “resounding success” in his new assignment and prayed for continued wisdom, strength, and divine guidance as he discharges his duties.
