Governor Bello Mohammed (Matawallen Maradun, Shattiman Sakkwato, Barden Hausa, Turakin Borgu, Fagachin Zango, Obapero Ile-Oluwa of Ile-Ife) has began his second term bid campaign rallies at the ancient city of  Kauran- Namoda amidst unprecedented mammoth crowd of supporters. Supported at the kick-off by all the past Governors of Zamfara State and all Political juganuts of Zamfara State, the  Governor threw the entire city of Kauran Namoda and its environs into a frenzy. Both former Governors Alhaji Ahmad Sani Yarima and Alhaji Mahmuda Aliyu Shikafi spoke on the need for continuity so that all projects and programmes started by His Excellency Dr Bello Mohammed can be completed and built upon.  They both commended Governor Matawalle for embracing everyone into the fold even as he eventually took over the machinery of the only living and functional Political Party in the state. Former Governor Abdulazeez Yari Abubakar, who happens to be the Co-ordinator of the Campaign for t...

Believe it or not the coming together of Four Governors of Zamfara namely: Ahmad Sani Yariman Bakura , Mahmuda Aliyu Shinkafi, Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar and Bello Muhammad Matawalle as one indivisible political entity in Zamfara is a fusion of a formidable, unbreakable political alliance which has not only brought political sanity and peace in the APC but has put to rest the hope of all rival political parties in the state”. This assertion made by an elder statesman in Zamfara Alh Ahmad Zabarma is a clear description of the political maturity of Governor Bello Matawalle who is described as "political golden star" in the historyof Nigeria. The political development in Zamfara from May 2019 when Governor Bello Matawalle assumed power remain the most un predictable political circumstances in the history of Zamfara. Many observers believed that the Governor may face serious political frustration from both the opposition APC and within. The crises caused by the review and build up ...

I have read the article by Sahara Reporters about the arrest of former Minister of Communication Ikira Aliyu Bilbis and for me the article is not only a reflection of “symbolic folktales” but a mischievous attempt to muscle the fact in order to attract public sympathy. I will say boldly clear that in the first instance, the Governor of Zamfara is neither the police IGP, Commissioner nor the IPO empowered by law to arrest, investigate and prosecute people with criminal allegationsvthe samething, it will be very unfair to link him with the action of the police who are carrying out their legitimate duties”. Ikira Aliyu Bilbis the former Minister of Communication was arrested over alleged connection with aiding and abetting political thuggery. This allegation was made prominent by the suspected political thugs arrested by the Zamfara State standing committee on Anti-Thuggery headed by Bello Bakyasuwa. They have also made confessional statements linking their ordeal to the former Minister ...

All is not well with the sacked Zamfara PDP Governorship candidate Dr. Dauda Lawal Dare as the report reveals that Mr. Dare is in a serious plea bargain through General Aliyu Mohammed Gusau and the former Sokoto State Governor Attahiru Bafarawa to beg Ibrahim Shehu Bakauye on his behalf to reconcile with him and withdraw the case that led to his sacking from Zamfara state Governorship race, to pave way for him to contest the upcoming 2023 general elections which a Gusau Federal High Court nullified for irregularities two weeks ago. Some PDP chieftains in the state namely, Colonel Bala Mande, Alhaji Maibuhu Gummi, Aliyu Ikra BilBis and Mouktari Lugga who is an in-law to Gen Gusau were said to have been constituted as a committee to approached Mr Bakauye to withdraw his case at the appeal Court to enable the party to have candidate for the upcoming election, but Ibrahim Shehu Bakauye declined to see them telling his supporters to remain calm and wait for the appeal court decision.  I...

  The Zamfara High Court sacked Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Dauda Lawal Dare, today assured his supporters of victory at the appeal he filed. Addressing the party members and supporters who paid him sympathy visit at his Abuja residence, the sacked Zamafara PDP Governorship candidate said he had met with FCT Grand Khadi Alh Rufai Imam who assured him that he will intervene by serving as the link between the Governorship candidate and the Judges of the appellant Court to quash or rule against the Judgement of Zamfara High Court, which nullified his nomination as the Governorship candidate for 2023 Governorship election during the party's primaries in Gusau Zamfara state capital. Dr Dauda therefore urged the members and supporters of the party to be calm and go back home with full confidence in the case filed at the Court of Apeal, as FCT Grand Khadi has assured him of winning the case.  " Please don't worry about the Zamfara Judgement my b...

  The Special Adviser on Zamfara Urban and Regional Planning Board Comr. Anas Abdullahi Kaura has dragged Dr. Dauda Lawal the PDP gubernatorial candidate for Zamfara state, the party and Independent National Electoral Commission to the Federal High Court Gusau division on whether by virtue of sections 2(2), 3(2) and 177 of the 1999 constitution as amended a citizen of Nigeria can enjoy dual citizenship. Their brief as a result of discrepancies detected from the credentials submitted to the INEC by Dr. Dauda Lawal the PDP gubernatorial candidate which show that he was born in both Guga village of Katsina and Gusau the Zamfara state capital. In the certificate of primary school presented by Dr. Dauda Lawal, it show that he was born in Guga a town located in the present day Katsina while in the declaration of age he made on the 12th of September 2018 he claimed that he was born in Gusau the capital city of Zamfara state. Anas Kaura through his lawyer Barr. P.M. Lasco is asking fo...

It appears that there are more questions that need to be cleared by the Zamfara PDP gubernatorial candidate in the forth-coming 2023 election Dr. Dauda Lawal over documents he personally and desirou sly submitted/adopted to the Independent National Electoral Commission as statements of his qualifications to contest for the post of the Governor of Zamfara state. The details contained in those documents are not only contradictory in nature but very confusing hence there is no certainty in both his original name and year he was born among many other complex adoptions that need to be cleared. It will sound illogical and irrational for someone to hear that the PDP gubernatorial candidate in Zamfara is bearing four names based on the documents he submitted to the INEC certified true copy for that matter. But interestingly it has happened, how it occurs only himself or his solicitor can explain. Many people for instance knew him to be Dauda Lawal Dare a name which is very popular in Zamfara b...
