The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Zamfara State, Dr. Dauda Lawal, says he would revive the state’s industrial and agricultural sectors to create employment for the youth and women if elected in the state.
Lawal disclosed this at the inauguration of his campaign in Kaura Namoda, headquarters of the Local Government Area on Monday.
He said insecurity had crippled agriculture, the pride of people of the state and the hitherto well established small and medium businesses in the state.
The governorship hopeful recalled that before the decade-old banditry and Kidnappings for ransom in the state, Zamfara was in the forefront of commerce and agriculture in the North.
He said all that had collapsed due to the menace of insecurity that led to the near permanent halt of school activities in the state.
Lawal lamented how the state had become a “war-zone” of sort, rendering hundreds of thousands of people homeless with countess casualties.
The PDP candidate, therefore, called on the citizens to collect their Permanent Voter’s Cards( PVCs) to vote for the party.
Lawal assured the larg crowd who attended the rally, that if elected as governor, he would tackle the insecurity challenge within a record time.
The return of law and order, he said, would help in rebuilding of the state’s health and educational sectors.
“Voting the PDP is the only means of bringing meaningful change to the state and the country in general,” he said.
The investment banker-turned politician, frowned at the youth who engaged in thuggery.
He said the politics of thuggery was over as he called on youths supporting the party to shun thuggery and conduct themselves orderly.
