The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Governorship Candidate in Zamfara State, Bilyaminu Yusuf Shinkafi, has disclosed that the state cannot prosper when its people are not safe, and called on political parties and candidates to debate on an issue basis during the 2027 campaign in the state.
In a statement issued on Thursday in Gusau, the ADC Governorship Candidate, Bilyaminu Shinkafi, formally introduced himself to stakeholders, members and supporters of ADC in the state.
The statement reads in parts: “I wish to formally introduce myself to the good people of Zamfara as the Governorship Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
” I am offering myself to serve at a time when our dear state faces enormous challenges; most especially insecurity, widespread poverty, inadequate education, poor healthcare and limited economic opportunities for our people.
“For too long, insecurity has disrupted our communities, displaced families, kept farmers away from their farmers.
Zamfara cannot prosper when its people are not safe.
“My commitment is clear: security will be the foundation of our government.
“Our children deserve quality education; our families deserve accessible healthcare; our farmers deserve security and support; and our young people deserve jobs, skills and opportunities.
“Public resources must serve the public, and development must reach every part of Zamfara.
“I appeal to all political parties, candidates and supporters to make 2027 a peaceful and issues-based campaign. Let us debate ideas, programmes and records; not personalities. Let us compete vigorously, but respect one another. Zamfara is bigger than any political party or candidate.”
